EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite interior decoration of the theatre built at Versailles for the first performance of The Princess of Navarre in 1745. Designed by Charles Nicolas Cochin, a prominent artist of the Baroque era, this grand spectacle showcases the opulence and elegance that defined French architecture during the 18th century. The image reveals a lavishly adorned space with chandeliers hanging from above, casting a warm glow on an attentive audience. Rows upon rows of candles illuminate the scene, creating an enchanting ambiance fit for dramatic performances. The intricate etchings on the walls and ceiling depict scenes from classical mythology, adding to the overall splendor. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see both men and women engrossed in their surroundings. Their expressions reflect their anticipation as they await what promises to be a captivating show filled with comedy and ballet. This historic moment captured within these walls represents not only a cultural milestone but also serves as a testament to France's rich artistic heritage. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph allows us to glimpse into an era where interior design was elevated to an art form itself. It reminds us that even centuries later, we can still appreciate and marvel at the beauty created by talented individuals like Charles Nicolas Cochin.
