Painting Description
"The Celebrated 'Mazurka d'Extase' Danced by M. Perrot and Mlle. Lucile Grahn at Her Majesty's Theatre" is a lithographic print created by the English artist John Brandard (1812–1863). This work is a visual representation of a dance performance featuring the renowned ballet dancers Jules Perrot and Lucile Grahn. The performance took place at Her Majesty's Theatre in London, a venue known for hosting a variety of theatrical productions including opera, ballet, and drama.
John Brandard was a prolific illustrator and lithographer, particularly known for his depictions of scenes from the performing arts. His works often served as a form of advertisement and commemoration of popular performances of the time, capturing the essence of the events and the notable figures involved. The 'Mazurka d'Extase' print is a testament to the popularity of ballet during the Victorian era and reflects the public's fascination with the art form and its stars.
The lithograph showcases the elegance and technical skill of Perrot and Grahn, who were both prominent figures in the ballet world. Jules Perrot (1810–1892) was a French dancer and choreographer, celebrated for his contributions to the development of ballet. He worked across Europe, including at Her Majesty's Theatre, where he served as a ballet master. Lucile Grahn (1819–1907) was the first internationally renowned Danish ballerina and one of the most famous dancers of the 19th century. Her performances were characterized by her grace and technical prowess.
The 'Mazurka d'Extase' itself was a dance piece that captured the imagination of audiences with its expressive choreography and the virtuosity of its performers. Brandard's lithograph not only captures a moment of cultural significance but also serves as a historical record of the artistic collaboration between Perrot and Grahn. The print would have been sold as a keepsake for theatergoers and as a promotional piece to attract new audiences to the ballet.
Today, John Brandard's lithographs are valuable for researchers and enthusiasts of performing arts history, offering insight into the visual culture and public entertainment of the 19th century. The 'Mazurka d'Extase' print is a notable example of Brandard's work and an important piece of ballet memorabilia, reflecting the era's artistic trends and the celebrity status of ballet dancers during the period.
