La Saltarelle, 1800s. Creator: Dominque Louis Papety (French, 1815-1849)
La Saltarelle, 1800s. During the 15th century, La Saltarelle was a popular Neapolitan court dance named for its particular leaping step, after the Italian verb saltare (to jump). Lively and merry, it was played in a fast triple meter. In the 19th century, the saltarello was featured in the Carnival celebrations preceding Lent in Rome. After witnessing the Roman Carnival of 1831, the German composer Felix Mendelssohn incorporated the dance into the finale of one of his masterpieces, the Italian Symphony

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "La Saltarelle" a popular Neapolitan court dance from the 15th century. The name of the dance derives from the Italian verb saltare, meaning to jump, as it was characterized by its distinctive leaping step. Energetic and joyful, La Saltarelle was traditionally performed in a fast triple meter. During the 19th century, this lively dance became an integral part of Rome's Carnival celebrations leading up to Lent. It captivated many artists and musicians who were inspired by its exuberance. One such artist was Dominque Louis Papety, a French painter born in 1815 and passed away at a young age in 1849. Papety's drawing skillfully captures the essence of La Saltarelle with watercolor and gouache techniques enhanced by selective gum glazing over faint graphite underdrawing. This artwork is now preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection. The influence of La Saltarelle extended beyond Italy's borders when German composer Felix Mendelssohn incorporated elements of this spirited dance into his renowned masterpiece, the Italian Symphony. Inspired by witnessing Rome's Carnival festivities in 1831, Mendelssohn added the saltarello to create an exhilarating finale for his symphony. This print not only pays homage to Papety's talent but also serves as a testament to how art forms can transcend time and geographical boundaries while continuing to inspire generations through their vibrant spirit.
