EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing costume design for the ballet "The Devil in Love" based on the original work by Jacques Cazotte. Created in 1840 by Paul Lormier, this exquisite piece of art depicts Biondetta, the female form of the Devil, in all her demonic glory. With its vibrant watercolor and gouache technique on paper, Lormier skillfully captures the essence of this supernatural tale. The fallen angel is depicted crouched under a full moon, with wings spread wide and an air of devilish allure surrounding her. Every detail, from her hunched posture to her menacing expression, adds to the fantastic atmosphere that permeates this painting. "The Devil in Love" was originally hailed as one of the first examples of conte fantastique—a genre that blends elements of fantasy and horror. This particular costume design perfectly embodies these themes through its portrayal of Lucifer's seductive counterpart. Displayed at Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France, this artwork invites viewers into a world where metamorphoses occur under moonlit nights and demons roam freely. It serves as a testament to both Lormier's artistic talent and his ability to bring forth characters from mythical realms onto canvas. As you gaze upon this striking image, allow yourself to be transported into a realm where darkness intertwines with beauty—a world inhabited by winged creatures and otherworldly beings who embody both temptation and danger.
