27th Gavotte Marie Pavilion Trianon 1901 Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in L'Illustration on June 27, 1901, transports us back in time to a rural party at the Marie-Antoniette Pavilion in the Trianon Palace. The idyllic setting of the Château de Versailles plays host to a lively gathering, where guests dressed in their finest attire enjoy a lively performance of The Gavotte. The Marie-Antoniette Pavilion, a charming and elegant structure, was originally built in 1689 as a hunting lodge for King Louis XIV. However, it was Marie-Antoinette, the Queen of France from 1774 to 1792, who transformed it into a retreat where she could escape the formalities of court life. The pavilion's name was changed in her honor, and it became a symbol of her love for the simple pleasures of rural life. The Gavotte, a popular French dance originating in the 16th century, is depicted here in all its grace and elegance. The dancers, both men and women, move in a synchronized and rhythmic manner, their steps reflecting the lively melody of the music. The joy and merriment on their faces are a testament to the infectious energy of the dance. The photograph, with its rich historical significance and beautiful composition, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the world moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of life were cherished and celebrated.
