Original Description
Charles-Nicolas II Cochin's The Masked Ball Given by the King (1745) captures the extravagant opulence of Versailles under Louis XV’s reign. The scene brims with movement as elegantly masked aristocrats twirl in lavish costumes, bathed in golden light from cascading chandeliers. Rococo flourishes—delicate curves, intricate fabrics, and playful whimsy—define the composition, reflecting 18th-century France’s obsession with pleasure and spectacle. Cochin, a master engraver, translates the era’s theatricality into meticulous detail, from billowing skirts to ornate architectural frames. Historically, this work epitomizes the fête galante genre, bridging Watteau’s pastoral charm and Fragonard’s later decadence. Its documentary precision also offers insight into courtly rituals, making it both an artistic treasure and a cultural artifact of the Ancien Régime’s twilight.
For decor, this engraving lends sophistication to classic or eclectic interiors. Its vertical composition suits above-mantel displays or hallway galleries, while a gilt frame echoes the artwork’s regal tones. Pair it with Louis XV-style furniture or modern minimalist pieces for contrast—the black-and-white lines harmonize with both rich jewel tones and neutral palettes. In offices, it elevates executive spaces, sparking conversation about art history. Opt for a medium-to-large size (approx. 24"x36") to balance detail visibility without overwhelming. Complement with metallic accents or velvet textiles to mirror its luxurious mood, ensuring the room feels curated yet cohesive.
