EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of elegance and grace in 18th century Italy. The image depicts a dancing master and a young Venetian woman engaged in a dance lesson, transporting us back to an era of refined artistry and cultural sophistication. The composition is based on the painting "The Dancing Lesson" by Pietro Longhi, created around 1741. With meticulous attention to detail, Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard handcolored this illustration, bringing life to the vibrant costumes worn by the dancers. Lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie for Georges Duplessis' book "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" published in Paris in 1867. Georges Duplessis himself was an esteemed curator at the Bibliotheque nationale with a passion for historical prints and costumes. Meanwhile, Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard's artistic talents extended beyond illustrating books; he also worked as an interior designer for public buildings and churches. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection curated by Florilegius (not mentioning commercial use), we are transported into the world of aristocratic ballrooms where music filled the air and couples swirled gracefully across polished floors. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty found within historical art forms that continue to inspire us today.
