EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the first performance of Racines Esther by Les Demoiselles de Saint-Cyr. The vibrant colors and intricate details in this colour lithograph, created by Maurice Leloir, bring to life the grandeur and elegance of this significant event. The scene depicts a young Jean Racine's masterpiece being brought to life on stage. Set in France during the reign of King Louis XIV, this biblical play tells the story from the Book of Esther. The noble girls from Maison Royale de Saint-Louis beautifully portray their roles, showcasing their talent and dedication to French culture. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as King Louis XIV himself watches attentively from his royal box. Known as Le Roi Soleil (the Sun King), he was a patron of arts and literature, making this performance even more prestigious. The image transports us back to 26th January 1689 when history was made within these theatre walls. It reminds us of the power that art possesses in preserving cultural heritage and bringing stories from ancient texts to life. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a testament to human creativity and passion for storytelling through theatrical performances. It stands as an ode to both French history and biblical narratives that continue to inspire generations worldwide.
