EDITORS COMMENTS
Mlle. Clotilde, a renowned French dancer of the Romantic era, gracefully embodies the enchanting goddess Calypso in this hand-colored copperplate engraving from Charles Malos Almanach des Spectacles. The image, published by Chez Louis Janet in Paris in 1820, showcases Mlle. Clotilde's mesmerizing performance in the ballet Les Aventures de Telemaque at the Opera. Based on the literary work "The Adventures of Telemachus" by François Fenelon, this ballet adaptation brought the mythological tale to life on the Parisian stage. Calypso, the nymph who kept Odysseus captive on her island for seven years, is depicted here with ethereal beauty and grace. Mlle. Clotilde's flowing white costume, adorned with intricate gold detailing, perfectly captures the essence of the goddess. Her expressive pose and captivating gaze draw the audience into her magical world. The hand-colored copperplate engraving technique adds an extra layer of enchantment to the image, bringing out the rich details of Mlle. Clotilde's costume and the intricate stage setting. This beautiful artwork offers a glimpse into the world of French ballet during the Romantic era, a time when dance was used to express emotion and tell stories in a way that captivated audiences. Mlle. Clotilde's performance as Calypso in Les Aventures de Telemaque was undoubtedly a highlight of the Parisian theater scene in 1820, and this stunning engraving serves as a testament to her artistry and the magic of the ballet.
