EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design created for a performance of Jean-Baptiste Lully's opera "Acis et Galatee" in Paris, 1762. The intricate pen and ink sketch, enhanced with watercolor on paper, was crafted by the talented artist Nicolas Boquet. The opera itself holds great historical significance as it was commissioned to honor the Grand Dauphin, son of Louis XIV. First performed in 1686, "Acis et Galatee" remained in repertoire until 1762. It is classified as a pastoral-heroic opera and tells the enchanting tale of Acis and Galatea. In this particular scene depicted within Boquet's artwork, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 17th-century theater. The character portrayed exudes elegance and grace through their elaborate attire that perfectly captures the essence of the era. The attention to detail is exquisite; every brushstroke brings life to each delicate fold and embellishment adorning the costume. This visual masterpiece not only serves as a testament to Boquet's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence that characterized performances during this time period. Preserved within the Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries later. Its presence reminds us of the enduring power of artistry and its ability to transport us across time and space into worlds filled with beauty and imagination.
