EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Lucien Petipa as Lyonel in Lady Henriette: A Captivating Portrayal of Ballet Drama This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting moment when Lucien Petipa, a renowned ballet dancer of the 19th century, gracefully embodied the character of Lyonel in the ballet "Lady Henriette" choreographed by Jules Perrot and staged at the Academie Royale de Musique in Paris in 1844. The image, an illustration by Victor Dollet from Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris, beautifully portrays Petipa in the role of Lyonel, a nobleman who falls in love with Lady Henriette, portrayed by the esteemed ballerina Marie Taglioni. The ballet, a romantic drama, was a major success and marked a pivotal moment in the history of ballet, as it introduced a new style of staging and costuming that emphasized realism and naturalism. The lithograph, created by the skilled hand of Alexis Lacauchie, masterfully captures the intricate details of Petipa's stage costume, which includes a richly textured velvet jacket, a crisp white shirt, and a flowing cravat. The dramatic pose of the dancer, with his arms outstretched and his gaze fixed on an unseen Lady Henriette, adds to the intensity of the moment and the overall sense of drama. The image is a testament to the artistry and skill of both Petipa and the creative team behind the production of Lady Henriette. It provides a glimpse into the world of 19th-century ballet and the captivating performances that left audiences spellbound. This beautiful lithograph is a treasured piece of ballet history and a reminder of the enduring power of dance to transport and inspire.
