Mlle Fanny Cerrito in Maziliers Orfa at the Academie Imperiale de Musique: A Vision of 19th Century Ballet Elegance This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the grace and poise of Mlle Fanny Cerrito (1817-1909) as she dances the role of Maziliers Orfa in a performance at the Academie Imperiale de Musique. Born in Naples, Italy, Cerrito rose to become one of the most celebrated ballerinas of the 19th century, renowned for her extraordinary technique, expressiveness, and captivating stage presence. The image, created by renowned French lithographer Alexandre Lacauchie for Galerie Dramatique: Costumes des Theatres de Paris in 1852, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of 19th century ballet. Cerrito's elegant costume, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a flowing, diaphanous skirt, perfectly complements her lithe form and delicate movements. The ornate backdrop and theatrical lighting further enhance the sense of enchantment and illusion. The Academie Imperiale de Musique, located in Paris, was a prestigious institution dedicated to the arts of music and dance. Cerrito's appearance here would have been a highly anticipated event, drawing audiences from all corners of Europe to witness her artistry and skill. This image serves as a testament to her enduring legacy and the beauty and elegance of the ballet world during this remarkable era in its history.
