Cenicienta en el baile
1865
Step into the most glamorous party of the 17th century—or at least the 19th century's version of it! Gustave Doré captures the exact moment Cinderella steals the show at the royal ball. Surrounded by a sea of ruffled collars and puffy sleeves, the Prince bows deeply to the mysterious beauty in white, while the rest of the court looks on in absolute awe. Doré, a French prodigy who started publishing art at just 15, was the master of bringing literary fantasies to life, and this dramatic scene from Charles Perrault's fairy tales perfectly showcases his Romantic flair.
