Marie Taglioni (1804-1884) was a renowned Swedish-Italian ballet dancer, often celebrated as one of the most prominent figures in Romantic ballet. In Alfred-Edward Chalon's c.1830 painting, 'Flore et Zéphire', Taglioni is depicted at the peak of her fame, embodying her character with grace and elegance. Widely known for her role in ' Sylphide', Taglioni in 'Flore et Zéphire' accentuates the ethereal charm of Romantic ballet and the era's fascination with fantastical characters and themes.

Born into a family with deep ties to the ballet world, Taglioni's technique, style and charisma had a profound influence on the perception of dance and dancers in her time. Her performance in 'Flore et Zéphire', adorned by Chalon's masterful rendering of her grace and poise, encapsulates the quintessence of Taglioni's ballet techniques. The painting vividly portrays her costumed and poised on her toes, a technique often associated with her, which became a hallmark of future ballet performances.

Alfred-Edward Chalon, a Swiss portrait painter active in England, painted Taglioni in 'Flore et Zéphire'. His ability to capture the vivacity and movement of stage performances is exhibited in this painting. Celebrated as one of the leading portraitists of his era, Chalon's engagement with the theatre, ballet, and high society, allowed him to imbue his works, such as 'Flore et Zéphire', with a realistic vitality and charm that reflects the cultural buzz of the time.

While 'Flore et Zéphire' might not be as renowned as some of her other performances, Taglioni's depiction in this painting by Chalon captures a notable moment in the history of dance. It showcases the enduring image of Taglioni as a symbol of the romantic and spiritual ideals of the era, thus cementing her position as one of the leading figures of 19th-century ballet.
