EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the elaborate masque, "Le Duc et les Oiseaux" (The Duke and the Birds), performed at the Palace of Versailles in 1688. The masque, a theatrical production combining music, dance, and elaborate costumes, was a popular form of entertainment during the French Baroque period. The print captures a moment from the performance in the labyrinth of the Versailles gardens. In the center, the Duke, dressed in ornate attire, stands amongst a group of cherubs, playfully interacting with them as if they were real birds. The cherubs, portrayed by children, are dressed as birds with wings and bird masks, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the performance. The labyrinth, a maze-like garden feature, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The lush greenery and intricate details of the garden architecture in the background further emphasize the opulence and grandeur of the royal court. The print offers a glimpse into the extravagant world of the French monarchy during the late 17th century. The masque was a way for the court to showcase its wealth and power, as well as to entertain and amuse the king and his guests. The use of children as cherubs added a whimsical touch to the production, making it a beloved tradition at the Versailles court. This print is a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of the French Baroque period and the enduring allure of the Palace of Versailles.
