and at the center of the birth and blossoming of ballet was a woman.\u003cbr\u003e Catherine de' Medici (1519-1589, reigned 1547-1559), from the Italian Medici family.\u003cbr\u003e The French pronunciation of Medici is Medicis.\u003cbr\u003e She married Henri de Valois, Duke of Orléans, who later became King Henry II of France, in 1533 and became Queen of France. \u003cbr\u003eHer achievements during her 40-year reign as Empress Dowager, if summarized in one sentence, were that she was 'the greatest contributor to bringing the intellectual world of the Italian Renaissance, including its academics and arts, to France.'\u003cbr\u003e --- p.17\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The ballet in which Louis XIV appeared as Apollo was \"Ballet Royal de la Nuit.\"\u003cbr\u003e The king, who had loved ballet since childhood, received strong support and encouragement to participate in ballet from Italian Cardinal Jules Mazarin.\u003cbr\u003e Louis XIV, in particular, was known to be very strict about dancing, and in fact, after his morning riding lessons, he took ballet lessons every day, paying great attention to the accuracy of the various steps.\u003cbr\u003e Numerically speaking, he is said to have practiced ballet for 2 hours every day for 27 years, so he is a very diligent king who showed an extraordinary love for ballet. \u003cbr\u003eHe made his ballet debut at the age of 13 in 1651 and made a strong impression two years later with \"Ballet de la Nuit.\"\u003cbr\u003e As a result, the history of ballet today records Louis XIV as the first ballet star.\u003cbr\u003e This is the first time that a king, not a professional dancer, has taken to the stage and achieved both popular stardom and artistic authority.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.35-36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Marie Taglioni didn't just have a good sense of time and character.\u003cbr\u003e She, too, worked desperately to bring this fairy to life, meticulously studying the quality of her light movements, as if her feet were barely touching the ground.\u003cbr\u003e She was not just a fairy, but an air spirit, and she danced like the wind, invisible but palpable.\u003cbr\u003e Taglioni's dancing style was so impressive that at the time, a light, floating dance technique similar to hers was called 'Taglionizer'. \u003cbr\u003eAnd this technique has become established as a ballet tradition.\u003cbr\u003e Today, it is called 'Ballon', which means light jumping and soft landing.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.65\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Peter the Great not only took fencing and dancing lessons himself, but also believed that Russians should be able to move and dance like Europeans.\u003cbr\u003e To this end, he carried out comprehensive reforms, including wearing Western-style clothing, removing beards, revising the calendar, establishing a new year, launching newspapers, and establishing universities, and he also made dancing and etiquette conditions for entering high society.\u003cbr\u003e He founded a new European-style city called St. Petersburg, and the Peterhof Palace was modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France.\u003cbr\u003e Peter the Great held court balls and even appeared on stage himself.\u003cbr\u003e He also ordered his courtiers who did not know French to learn French and dance, and attendance at banquets became an obligation for nobles. \u003cbr\u003eAccording to contemporary accounts, “the Tsar performed a cabriole so magnificent that it would have amazed the best dancers in Europe.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

it makes my heart flutter.\u003cbr\u003e However, we have felt a sense of awe rather than intimacy when looking at the ballerinas in the paintings of Edgar Degas, the 'painter of ballerinas.'\u003cbr\u003e For a long time, ballet was considered a 'tall' genre, a celestial art form too distant for earthly humans to approach. \u003cbr\u003eBut now, with Korean dancers like Park Sae-eun (Paris Opera Ballet), Kim Ki-min (Mariinsky Ballet), and Jeon Min-cheol (Mariinsky Ballet) standing tall as the world's best dancers, and the powerful yet elegant movements of ballet dancers on the popular TV program \"Stage Fighter (Stepa)\" receiving explosive responses, the status of ballet is expanding significantly.\u003cbr\u003e Also, in this era where people value a life of loving and nurturing themselves, the number of people who learn ballet as a hobby and become captivated by its charm is increasing day by day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you love, you start to want to know.\u003cbr\u003e The same goes for ballet.\u003cbr\u003e I'm curious about the process through which ballet was born, how it evolved into what it is today, and who contributed to its development. \u003cbr\u003eIt also makes you curious about the history and meaning behind the dancers' elegant movements and splendid stage, why swans dance on the lake, and how ballerinas' white tutus came to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBorn to Catherine de Medici and raised by Louis XIV\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Ballet, Going to the Art Museum\" is a humanistic ballet textbook that instantly answers these questions.\u003cbr\u003e From history to the stage, we have selected 15 of the most interesting and essential topics related to ballet and developed a story about them.\u003cbr\u003e Another unique feature of \"Ballet Goes to the Art Museum\" is the 170 or so famous paintings that capture moments of ballet. \u003cbr\u003eThrough the works of masters such as Edgar Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Édouard Manet, you can enjoy a wealth of ballet scenes captured in famous paintings, including the beautiful appearance of ballerinas on stage, the fierce appearance backstage, the harsh lessons, and sometimes even the exhausting and difficult appearances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 『Ballet Goes to the Art Museum』 is composed of two acts, like a ballet performance.\u003cbr\u003e Act 1, 'The Stage Opens', traces the flow of history from the birth to establishment of ballet.\u003cbr\u003e Following the eventful life of Catherine de Medici, the 'Mother of Ballet', and the 'Ballet comique de la Reine', which is considered the first ballet, the story of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who successfully achieved his political goal of strengthening France's absolute monarchy through ballet, continues. \u003cbr\u003eIt also tells the story of the fate of Romantic female dancers who had to become \"airy-like\" fairies after \"La Sylphide,\" which opened the curtain on Romantic ballet, and the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the classical ballet system and works brought about by the reform policies of the Russian Empire pursued by Peter the Great.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Act 2, 'Stars Dancing', tells the story of the ballet piece and the people on stage.\u003cbr\u003e Anna Pavlova, the ballerina who became an eternal legend with her immortal masterpiece, \"The Dying Swan,\" and Vaclav Nijinsky, the genius ballet dancer who was buried in the short 10 years of glory and the long 30 years of suffering.\u003cbr\u003e And, we take a close look at the existence of the anonymous stars who existed to make the star dancers on stage shine, the genius choreographers behind them, and the Eastern culture (Orientalism) that has been incorporated into ballet.\u003cbr\u003e The chapter on 'Corps de Ballet' is particularly moving. \u003cbr\u003eAlthough it is overshadowed by the dazzling solo variations and pas de deux of the leading dancers who take the spotlight, the real body of ballet is the corps de ballet.\u003cbr\u003e The stories of the sweat and tears they shed to show perfect harmony on stage, and the dreams of unknown dancers, change the way we view ballet.\u003cbr\u003e The final chapter, which deals with exotic tastes in ballet, is also interesting.\u003cbr\u003e By following the evolution and content expansion of ballet, such as the Spanish dance of \"Don Quixote,\" the Indian atmosphere of \"La Bayadère,\" and the character dance of \"The Nutcracker,\" you can expand your understanding of the European perspectives and Orientalism of the time that are reflected in ballet works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each chapter's text is accompanied by a tip box to help you understand ballet. \u003cbr\u003eIt is full of small but interesting information, such as how to distinguish between romantic and classical ballet, the history of opera houses where ballet is performed, the dancers' class system, famous ballet schools around the world, and the history of Korean creative ballet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDrawing ballet again in front of Degas's painting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Ballet, Going to the Art Museum\" is a book that will captivate both those who are new to ballet and those who have already fallen in love with it.\u003cbr\u003e Even those unfamiliar with ballet will find themselves drawn into the story that traces the birth and evolution of ballet through myths, legends, literature, and history.\u003cbr\u003e For those familiar with ballet, it offers a fresh and deeper perspective on the ballet pieces and the artists behind them, providing an intellectual foundation for a deeper appreciation of the pieces. \u003cbr\u003eWhen waiting for the curtain to rise at a ballet performance, or standing in front of a painting by Degas or Lautrec in an art museum, the experience will be much richer if you recall a passage from \"Ballet Goes to the Museum.\"\u003cbr\u003e And ballet will come to us anew not as a distant, celestial art, but as a living, breathing humanities right next to us. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd
