Painting Description
"The Evening Dress Ball at the House of Monsieur de Villemorien Fila, engraved by L. Provost" is an 18th-century engraving by French artist Augustin de Saint-Aubin. The work is notable for its intricate depiction of a social gathering, capturing the elegance and sophistication of the period's upper-class society. Saint-Aubin, born in 1736, was a prominent engraver and illustrator, renowned for his detailed and delicate technique, which is exemplified in this piece.
The engraving portrays a lavish ball at the residence of Monsieur de Villemorien Fila, a fictional or perhaps lesser-known historical figure of the time. The scene is filled with figures adorned in evening dress, engaging in dance and conversation, which reflects the artist's keen observation of contemporary social customs and attire. The artwork serves as a valuable document of the era's fashion and cultural norms.
L. Provost, whose full identity remains unclear, is credited with the actual engraving of the piece, suggesting a collaboration between Provost and Saint-Aubin. This was a common practice in the art world during the period, where drawings by well-known artists were often engraved by others for reproduction and distribution.
The engraving is a testament to the artistic skill of Augustin de Saint-Aubin and the collaborative nature of printmaking in the 18th century. It provides historians and art enthusiasts with a vivid visual record of the social life of the French elite during a time of great cultural and artistic flourishing prior to the French Revolution. As an artwork, it not only showcases the technical prowess of its creators but also offers a window into the past, inviting contemporary audiences to experience the grandeur of a bygone era.
