EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and enchanting print captures the exquisite costumes of Raoul and Isaure, two beloved characters from the opera "Raoul Barbe-Bleue". Created by the French School in the 18th century, this coloured engraving showcases the intricate design and attention to detail that went into bringing these characters to life on stage. "Raoul Barbe-Bleue" with music composed by Andre Gretry and a libretto written by Michel Sedaine, is based on Charles Perrault's timeless fairy tale of Blue Beard. First performed in Paris in 1789 at the Comedie-Italienne, this opera has captivated audiences for centuries with its captivating storyline and beautiful melodies. The costumes depicted in this print are truly remarkable. From Raoul's regal attire to Isaure's ethereal gown, every element reflects their character traits and adds depth to their performances. The artist behind this illustration is Jean Charles Le Vacher de Chamois, whose work can be found in his publication "Costumes et Annales des Grands Théâtres de Paris". Charles Perrault himself was a renowned French writer known for his collection of fairy stories. His influence shines through in this image as it brings together elements of fantasy, drama, and romance. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through art. It invites us into a world where imagination knows no bounds and reminds us why these tales continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
