EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph showcases the esteemed dancer and choreographer Carlo Blasis, a prominent figure in the world of ballet during the 19th century. The portrait exudes elegance and grace as Blasis strikes a pose that epitomizes his mastery of movement. Carlo Blasis (1797-1878) is depicted here with an air of confidence, his gaze fixed upon something beyond the frame. His refined features are beautifully captured by the artist Francis Davignon, who skillfully conveys both Blasis' artistic talent and charismatic presence. Blasis was renowned for his contributions to neoclassical ballet technique and theory. As one of the most influential figures in dance history, he revolutionized ballet training methods through his seminal work "Code de Terpsichore". This groundbreaking publication codified principles such as turnout, pointe work, and épaulement that continue to shape classical ballet today. The lithograph transports us back to a time when music, opera, theatre, and dance were intertwined in their pursuit of artistic excellence. It serves as a testament to Blasis' enduring legacy within this vibrant cultural landscape. This rare print is part of a private collection that cherishes fine art images from various periods. Its inclusion adds depth to any space it graces while paying homage to an individual whose impact on dance remains indelible.
