EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases the stunning Mlle. Clotilde in a daring Grecian ballet costume. Clotilde Mafleurai, a renowned star dancer with the Ballet de Paris at the Theatre de l'Opera, exudes grace and elegance as she dons a Greek hairstyle and costume with a high waist adorned with flowers. In this mesmerizing image, Mlle. Clotilde fearlessly bares one breast and one knee, pushing boundaries of artistic expression during a time of great societal change. The year is 1798, amidst the backdrop of the French Revolution and its aftermath. The enchanting details captured by Pierre Charles Baquoy's illustration showcase not only Mlle. Clotilde's beauty but also her talent as she dances in sandals that complement her ethereal ensemble. Published in Pierre de la Mesangere's Journal des Modes et Dames, this engraving stands as an exquisite representation of Directoire fashion and style during this period. Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt contributed their artistic prowess to create these illustrations for volume 1. As you gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, you are transported back to an era where dance was used as both entertainment and rebellion against traditional norms. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to challenge conventions while celebrating beauty and creativity on stage at Theatre de l'Opera.
