Taglionis Farewell - by Kenny Meadows, 1845. Creators: Unknown, Joseph Kenny Meadows
Taglionis Farewell - by Kenny Meadows, 1845. The final performance - or swansong - of Italian ballerina Maria Taglioni:one of the first and greatest dancers who ever graced the stage, and one to whose example we owe that poetical and elevated style of dancing which characterises, more or less, those whom she has left behind as worthy to occupy her place...the applause, as may be anticipated, was long and loud; bouquets in profusion fell at the feet of the charming danseuse, and she acknowledged them with a gratitude that she must have really felt towards the British public, who were amongst the first to appreciate her talent and are the last to bid her adieu...we may venture to assert that no real lover of art who witnessed her farewell on Saturday night but experienced a feeling of real regret. From " Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII

Taglioni's Farewell - A Poetic Swan Song
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, titled "Taglioni's Farewell" captures the final performance of the legendary Italian ballerina Maria Taglioni in 1845. Created by the talented artist Joseph Kenny Meadows, this engraving beautifully immortalizes a moment that marked the end of an era in ballet. Maria Taglioni was not just a dancer; she was a trailblazer who revolutionized the art form with her graceful and elevated style. Her influence on future generations of dancers is immeasurable, as she set new standards for technical skill and artistic expression. As depicted in this image, Maria takes center stage one last time, surrounded by adoring fans showering her with bouquets. The applause echoes throughout the theater, reflecting both admiration and regret from those who witnessed her farewell performance. The Illustrated London News described Maria's gratitude towards the British public for their unwavering support throughout her career. This sentiment resonates even today as we marvel at her talent and contributions to dance. In this poignant scene captured by Meadows' skilled hand, we witness not only a retirement but also a passing of the torch to future generations of dancers inspired by Maria Taglioni's legacy. It serves as a reminder that true lovers of art will forever cherish her farewell as an unforgettable moment in history.
