1730
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
H Beard Print Collection is a 1730 by Nicolas Lancret, a Baroque work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows Marie Salle dancing with others in a garden. It's a lively scene with people moving and gesturing. The print is from a time when dance was a popular form of entertainment, and it's interesting to see how the artist chose to depict the movement and energy of the dancers. The detail and care in the print suggest a high level of skill, and to learn more about this style, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
A print by Nicolas Lancret from 1730 shows Marie Salle dancing outdoors with a group of figures in a garden setting. The image was distributed in London by publishers Thomas Bowles and John Bowles.
