EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for Pierre Corneille's renowned play, "Andromede". Created in 1651 by Francois Chauveau, this engraving captures the original decor of the tragedy. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship are evident in every aspect of this stage design. Displayed at Bibliotheque de L Arsenal in Paris, France, this set was specifically created for a performance at the Theatre Royal du Petit Bourbon. The grandeur and elegance of the setting perfectly complemented Corneille's compelling storyline. The image transports us back to a time when theater was an enchanting experience filled with dramatic performances and skilled actors. It invites us to imagine ourselves as part of that audience, eagerly awaiting each scene change and reveling in the beauty of the stage. While we may not be able to witness this particular production firsthand, this print allows us to appreciate the artistry behind theatrical productions from centuries past. It serves as a reminder of how even something as seemingly transient as a stage set can leave a lasting impression on both performers and spectators alike. As we gaze upon this stunning engraving, we are reminded that fine art extends beyond traditional mediums like painting or sculpture; it encompasses all forms of creative expression that capture our imagination and transport us into different worlds.
