EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the glamour and excitement of the French Riviera in the 1930s, Monte Carlo Beach became a premier destination for high society and entertainment seekers alike. In this photograph by renowned artist Fortunino Matania, titled "Entertainment at Monte Carlo Beach," we witness an evening cabaret performance on the terrace overlooking the azure waters. The open-air setting, an entirely new concept at the time, added to the allure and appeal of the Monte Carlo resort. Guests dressed in their finest attire gather around the terrace, their eyes fixed on the entertainers who gracefully perform gymnastic feats and captivating acts. The warm glow of the lanterns and the gentle sound of the waves in the background create an enchanting atmosphere. Gambling tables, scattered around the terrace, invite the guests to try their luck under the star-studded night sky. Matania's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his keen attention to detail, brings this scene to life. The elegant women, dressed in chic dresses and furs, and the dapper men in suits and hats, exude an air of sophistication and excitement. The energy and vibrancy of the performers contrast beautifully with the tranquil beauty of the beach and the calmness of the sea. This photograph, taken in 1934, is a testament to the allure and charm of Monte Carlo Beach during the golden age of the French Riviera. The image invites us to step back in time and experience the magic and mystery of an era long gone.
