Painting of a Parisian Opera Ballet Dancer by Meynier

About the Item

This beautifully framed painting by Meynier depicts a blonde woman dressed in ballet attire, wearing a white leotard and tutu adorned with a blue belt. The woman is shown with her eyes closed, arms raised gracefully in a dance pose. The painting reflects the enthusiasm of its era for opera ballet, akin to the emphasis placed on this theme by the famous artist Edgar Degas. Additionally, it encapsulates the prevailing fascination with the Parisian woman, an embodiment of elegance, sophistication, and refinement. This artistic portrayal of the Parisian woman serves as a testament to the allure she held during that period, both in terms of fashion and societal influence. One can discern the clear influence of artists like Domergue and Pierre Gatier in the style of this painting. These artists were renowned for their depictions of elegant and graceful women from the Belle Époque, and Meynier undeniably aligns with this artistic tradition. The signature in the upper left corner of the artwork adds authenticity to its provenance and authorship. Furthermore, the choice to elegantly frame this pastel within a golden frame and under glass enhances its aesthetic appeal and helps preserve its quality. Regarding dimensions, the framed artwork measures 55 cm by 47 cm, while the artwork itself is 37 cm by 29 cm in size. This information provides valuable context for appreciating the scale and overall impact of this captivating artistic representation. Meynier's painting of the ballet dancer at the Parisian opera house is a testament to the era's fascination with ballet and the iconic Parisian woman. It not only captures the essence of its time but also showcases Meynier's ability to channel the style of renowned artists from the Belle Époque, making it a noteworthy piece of art.
