EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a ballet costume of fury, designed by Henri de Gissey for the Ballet: The Wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Created between 1621-1673, this gouache artwork is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The image depicts a man wearing an elaborate and vibrant costume that exudes anger and rage. The colors are richly saturated, adding to the intensity of his emotions. The classical dance movements captured here convey a sense of agitation and motion. Feathers adorn the costume, creating a dramatic effect as they flutter with each movement. Amongst these feathers lies a snake-like serpent motif, symbolizing danger and unpredictability. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns on the attire to the blurred motion that suggests dynamic action on stage. This piece truly captures the essence of ballet dancing - combining gracefulness with raw emotion. As we gaze at this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back to 17th-century France where ballet was flourishing as an art form. It serves as a reminder of how art can evoke powerful feelings within us through its use of color, movement, and symbolism. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical masterpiece for us to appreciate today.
