EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "L'heure du bal masqué - The hour of the masked ball" by Charles-Joseph Flipart. Painted in the 18th century, this oil on copper masterpiece measures 46x34.6 inches and is currently held in a private collection. The scene depicted transports us to a vibrant masked ball during the height of French society's spare time. The commedia dell'arte characters come alive, with mimes and clowns adding an air of whimsy to the festivities. The bourgeoisie revels in their extravagant costumes, immersing themselves in the allure of anonymity behind their masks. Intriguingly, amidst this lively ambiance stands a man and woman adorned in elegant attire, seemingly engaged in conversation. A servant dutifully attends to them while a pendulum clock reminds all attendees that time continues its relentless march forward. Flipart's attention to detail captures every nuance of this enchanting moment; from the meticulously painted costumes to the expressions on each character's face, it is evident that he was truly a master artist. This painting not only offers us a glimpse into an opulent era but also serves as a testament to France's rich artistic heritage. It invites viewers to imagine themselves transported back in time, experiencing firsthand the grandeur and intrigue of such extravagant events. With its historical significance and artistic brilliance, "L'heure du bal masqué" remains an exquisite example of French artistry at its finest.
