EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures a moment of pure joy and celebration in the form of Spanish Peasants Dancing the Bolero. Created by John Frederick Lewis in 1836, this colour litho with additional hand-colouring brings to life the energy and spirit of traditional Spanish dance. In this scene, we see a group of female dancers gracefully moving to the rhythm of the bolero, accompanied by talented musicians playing guitars. The men join in as well, adding their own flair to the performance. The atmosphere is filled with passion and excitement as these peasants come together to revel in music and movement. Lewis's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the intricate patterns on their costumes to the expressions on their faces. The colours are rich and vibrant, reflecting both the festive nature of this gathering and Spain's cultural heritage. This artwork serves as a window into another time, allowing us to witness a moment frozen in history where everyday people found solace and happiness through dance. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human expression across cultures. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago as part of the Dorothy Braude Edinburg Collection, this print stands as a testament to Lewis's talent for capturing not only physical movements but also emotions within his work.
