Painting Description
Carlotta Grisi (1819–1899) was an Italian ballet dancer, widely renowned for her talent, grace, and the embodiment of the Romantic ballet era. She is perhaps best known for her creation of the title role in "Giselle," choreographed by Jean Coralli and Jules Perrot, which premiered in Paris in 1841. In 1844, Grisi performed in the "Ballet of the Peri," a work that showcased her exceptional skills and further solidified her status as one of the leading ballerinas of her time.
The "Ballet of the Peri," with choreography often attributed to Jules Perrot, featured Grisi in a role that allowed her to demonstrate her technical prowess and dramatic abilities. The ballet's visual aspects were captured in an 1844 lithograph by John Brandard, a notable English lithographer and illustrator known for his depictions of theatrical subjects. Brandard's lithograph is a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into the visual culture surrounding ballet during the mid-19th century and Grisi's significant impact on the art form.
While Grisi's performance in the "Ballet of the Peri" is less documented than her role in "Giselle," it remains an important part of her artistic legacy. Her interpretation of the ballet's characters contributed to the development of ballet as a narrative and expressive medium, influencing the evolution of dance and the portrayal of ethereal, otherworldly characters on stage. Grisi's artistry in performances such as the "Ballet of the Peri" continues to be celebrated for its historical importance and for the way it shaped the Romantic ballet era.
