EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored print depicts a French man in an elegant and ornate ballet costume from the 17th century. The man, with a regal bearing and a proud expression, is dressed in the attire of a dancer who once graced the stage during one of King Louis XIV's renowned ballets in Aix, performed in 1660. The intricate design of the costume is brought to life through the skilled lithography of A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, under the direction of E. Lechevallier-Chevignard. This exquisite illustration is taken from the comprehensive work "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis, published in Paris in 1867. The detailed and accurate representation of the costume provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of French courtly dance during the reign of King Louis XIV, a time when ballet reached new heights of artistic expression and sophistication.
