EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mid-Lent Festival in Paris (litho) captures the vibrant and festive atmosphere of a bygone era. This print, created by Georges Redon in 1899, offers a glimpse into the lively celebrations that took place during this traditional French event. In the heart of Paris, outside the grand Opera House, an allegorical group eagerly awaits the arrival of the queen of festivities. The crowd is filled with anticipation as they anxiously await her appearance. The streets are adorned with colorful decorations and balloons, adding to the excitement in the air. The Mid-Lent Festival was known for its extravagant parties and parades that marked a halfway point between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. It was a time when people indulged in merriment before entering into a period of fasting and reflection. This enchanting lithograph beautifully captures both the joyous spirit of celebration and hints at deeper symbolism associated with this cultural tradition. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back to 19th century France, immersing ourselves in its rich history and European charm. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, allowing us to appreciate not only Redon's artistic talent but also gain insight into French culture during that time. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past as we continue to celebrate diverse traditions across Europe.
