EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a ballet scene at the military camp of the Cid, illustrating Jules Massenet's opera "Le Cid". The image depicts a moment of dramatic tension as soldiers gather around, their uniforms adding to the sense of military discipline and power. The unknown artist skillfully portrays the intensity and emotion of this pivotal scene. "Le Cid" based on Pierre Corneille's play and Guillen de Castro's poem, tells the story of Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, known as El Cid, a legendary Spanish hero. In this particular scene, set in a military camp, we witness an intricate ballet performance that adds depth to the narrative. The dancers' graceful movements contrast with the ruggedness of their surroundings, creating an intriguing visual juxtaposition. The 19th-century engraving beautifully captures both the grandeur and subtlety of Massenet's composition. It serves as a testament to his genius as a composer who masterfully brought together literature and music. This print is part of a private collection belonging to Giancarlo Costa. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to experience not only the beauty but also the significance of "Le Cid". It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with history and culture – telling stories through various mediums such as literature, music, theater, and dance.
