EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the opulence and grandeur of a bygone era at the Grand Fancy-Dress Ball given by the Duke of Medina-Coeli in Madrid. The image, created by Gustave Janet in 1861, transports us to a time when society events were extravagant affairs filled with elegance and splendor. The ballroom is adorned with lavish decorations, sparkling chandeliers casting a warm glow on the scene below. Guests are dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect their wealth and status, each outfit more exquisite than the last. From regal kings and queens to enchanting fairies and mythical creatures, every attendee has embraced the spirit of fantasy and indulgence. The Duke of Medina-Coeli himself stands at the center of attention, his presence commanding respect as he welcomes guests to this remarkable soirée. As we gaze upon this print from Janet's skilled hand, we can almost hear the soft melodies drifting from an orchestra hidden among towering pillars. This engraving not only offers us a glimpse into Spanish high society during this period but also serves as a reminder of how celebrations were once held with such grandiosity. It invites us to imagine ourselves stepping into this world for just one night - mingling with aristocrats, dancing under twinkling lights, and reveling in an atmosphere where dreams come true. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have been granted access to witness history unfold before our eyes - capturing both Spain's rich cultural heritage and Europe's love affair with extravagant
