EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing werewolf costume worn by Louis XIV during the Ballet de la Nuit, choreographed by Jean-Baptiste Lully in 1653. The French School of the 17th century beautifully captures this momentous performance at the Bibliotheque de l'Institut de France in Paris. The Werewolf costume exudes an air of mystery and duality, symbolizing both darkness and elegance. Its intricate design features a beastly wolf figure with two heads, representing the transformation from human to animal. The artist skillfully portrays the contrasting elements of this mythical creature - one head looks backward while the other gazes forward, signifying its connection to both past and future. Louis XIV's portrayal as a werewolf adds an element of intrigue to his role in this ballet. His powerful presence on stage is enhanced by this monstrous guise, showcasing his versatility as a performer. The image highlights not only his physical prowess but also his ability to embody different characters with grace and precision. The werewolf costume evokes a sense of primal energy and wildness that captivates viewers' imaginations. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with creatures that exist between worlds - part human, part animal. This striking painting immortalizes an iconic moment in dance history, where artistry meets mythology on stage for all to behold.
