EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Silphe in the Ballet of the Elements, a mesmerizing ballet from the late 18th century. Created by Jean-Baptiste Martin, a renowned artist of that era, this hand-coloured engraving captures every intricate detail of this baroque character's attire. The ballet itself, known as Les elemens or Ballet des elemens, was composed by Andre Cardinal Destouches and Michel Richard Delalande. It tells a tale through dance and music, immersing audiences in an enchanting world where elements come to life. In this particular image, we see Silphe in full length glory. The male dancer is adorned with a stunning dress that epitomizes fashion of its time. The elaborate ensemble features ornate patterns and textures that add depth to his character portrayal. Martin's illustration skillfully brings out the essence of Silphe's role as he gracefully moves across the stage. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable - from the delicate folds of fabric to each meticulously drawn accessory. As part of the Stapleton Collection and now available through Bridgeman Images, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when ballet was not only about movement but also about visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to the artistry involved in creating costumes that transport performers and viewers alike into another realm.
