EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures a momentous event in history - the grand fête organized to celebrate the marriage of Emperor Joseph II to Princess Marie-Josephe of Bavaria. Painted by the talented artist Georg Weikert, this detail showcases none other than Marie Antoinette herself in all her regal splendor. The year is 1765, and amidst an opulent setting at Chateau de Versailles, we witness a ballet pantomime titled "Le Triomphe de l'Amour" unfolding before our eyes. The scene is filled with elegance and grace as dancers adorned in lavish costumes bring this enchanting performance to life. Marie Antoinette, radiant and youthful, takes center stage as she captivates the audience with her beauty and poise. Surrounding her are other notable figures such as Maria Theresa, adding an air of royalty to this mesmerizing tableau. Weikert's masterful brushstrokes beautifully capture every intricate detail - from the ornate opera house backdrop to the delicate expressions on each dancer's face. This oil on canvas painting transports us back in time, allowing us a glimpse into a world where artistry and celebration intertwine seamlessly. Displayed within Musee de l'Histoire de France, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It immortalizes not only an important union between two noble families but also highlights the enduring allure of ballet pantomimes that graced prestigious theaters during that era. Please
