EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the four elements in a 17th century courtly ballet. Created by Guillaumot fils, this facsimile of a hand-coloured engraving from the 18th century perfectly captures the essence of theatrical artistry. Intricately detailed and beautifully crafted, each element is represented by its own unique outfit. The dancer portraying fire exudes passion and intensity, adorned in vibrant hues that mirror flickering flames. Water flows gracefully through the performer's attire, with delicate shades of blue evoking tranquility and fluidity. The male dancer embodying earth stands grounded and powerful, his costume reflecting nature's rich tones of green and brown. Lastly, air takes form as ethereal beauty with billowing fabrics that seem to float effortlessly around the performer. This illustration transports us back to an era where dance was not only entertainment but also a means to convey symbolic messages. The elaborate designs capture the imagination and bring these elemental forces to life on stage. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the timeless allure of ballet as an art form that transcends time and space. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our eternal fascination with expressing emotions through movement. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this enchanting piece from The Stapleton Collection continues to inspire awe and admiration for its exquisite craftsmanship.
