About this Item
33 x 24 cm (sheet size) Lithograph with full hand colour. Marie-Alexandre Alophe, French lithographer and painter (1812-83). The print shows the dancer in the ballet Marco Spada, which was performed at the Paris Opera in 1857. It was a splendid piece of French Second Empire nonsense, featuring bandits, kidnapped heroines, lovers' misunderstandings, a rejected suitor who in a fit of pique agrees to marry someone he doesn't love, and a bandit chief's daughter, freed to marry her lover when it transpires she was adopted. The subject was chosen because it provided two strong female roles for the Paris Opera Ballet's current stars, Carolina Rosati and Amalia Ferraris. Seller Inventory # 28488
