EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the extravagant French court of the 17th century. Titled "French Ball, Royal Almanac, with a score sheet of the Menuet de Strasbourg" it showcases an enchanting scene from a grand ball held during the reign of Louis XIV. The image captures a male and female couple gracefully dancing in the center, their elegant costumes adorned with lace and wigs styled meticulously. Surrounding them are other courtiers engaged in lively conversation while enjoying a sumptuous meal at an opulently set table. The chandeliers hanging above illuminate the room, casting a warm glow on this joyous celebration. What makes this print even more fascinating is that it includes a representation of a musical page from Marc Antoine Charpentier's Menuet de Strasbourg score sheet. This detail highlights not only the importance placed on music during these events but also serves as evidence of Charpentier's contribution to French Baroque music. Preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artwork offers us glimpses into both social life and artistic expression during one of history's most iconic periods. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its cultural significance as we delve into the world of French aristocracy centuries ago.
