EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the opera "Titon et l Aurore" by Jean-Joseph de Mondonville, created in 1763. The intricate artwork, executed with brown Indian ink on paper, exemplifies the exquisite talent of François Boucher (1703-1770), a renowned artist of the Rococo era. This remarkable piece is currently housed in the esteemed Collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France. The image depicts Tithonus, a character from Greek mythology known for his immortal life but eternal aging. The delicate pen strokes and attention to detail bring this mythical figure to life, capturing both his regality and vulnerability. The flowing lines and graceful curves of the costume reflect the elegance synonymous with Rococo art. Mondonville's opera was performed at Opera de Paris during its premiere year, making this costume design an invaluable historical artifact from that time period. It offers us a glimpse into the opulent world of 18th-century theater and highlights the importance placed on visual aesthetics in productions. This print serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of fine art images throughout history. Its presence in Bibliotheque Nationale de France ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and study.
