EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully painted cigar box adorned with scenes from Taglioni prints, dating back to around 1840. The oil painting on fruitwood depicts an exquisite combination of elements, including a hunting scene, a graceful ballet dancer, and the picturesque English landscape. Measuring at 13.7x31.4x19.1 cm, this remarkable piece is currently housed in the Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The artwork pays homage to Marie Taglioni (1804-84), an esteemed Italian ballerina renowned for her exceptional talent and grace on stage. The composition skillfully intertwines various themes such as foxhunting, horses, packs of hounds, and farm animals into one cohesive design that exudes elegance and sophistication. Every intricate detail of this decorative masterpiece has been meticulously crafted by an anonymous 19th-century English artist whose work remains timeless even today. From the ornate embellishments to the masterful portrayal of wildlife and hunters alike, this cigar box serves as both a functional item and a stunning work of art. With its rich history and artistic significance, this extraordinary creation captures the essence of beauty in motion while preserving moments from classical ballet performances alongside traditional English countryside pursuits. A true treasure within the realm of fine art!
