Captivating the Night Sky - The Daring Descent of Madame Saqui
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing aquatint print, created by the English School in 1822, we are transported to a thrilling moment at Vauxhall Gardens in London. The image captures the breathtaking descent of Madame Saqui, a renowned French performer and tightrope walker, surrounded by an explosion of vibrant fireworks. As she gracefully slides down an inclined rope that stretches an impressive 350 feet long from a mast towering 50 feet high, Madame Saqui defies gravity with her daring acrobatic skills. The crowd below watches in awe as she fearlessly navigates the thin line between triumph and danger. The illuminated gardens provide a magical backdrop for this extraordinary performance. As Madame Saqui takes her confident strides along the rope, strolling through the night sky like a celestial being, her presence captivates both young and old alike. Every step is met with gasps of admiration from the audience who marvel at her skillful artistry. This scene immortalized by Thomas Kelly's publication transports us back to a time when live performances were cherished events that brought people together in shared wonderment. Through this artwork, we can almost hear the collective cheers and applause echoing through history as Madame Saqui enchants all those fortunate enough to witness her incredible feat. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history for us to admire today—an enduring testament to human courage and our unyielding desire for spectacle
