Description
Il n’est pas de sculpture, de miniature, de tapisserie, de vitrail qui porte témoignage de la part importante prise dès le XVIe siècle par les danses ou les “danceries” dans la vie de cour et dans la vie de la cité. Durant des décennies, fêtes, banquets, bals, divertissements résonnèrent des accents des hautes danses agrémentées de sauts ou des basses danses nobles et graves, celle “des honnestes gens”, d’après Furetière…
Sculptures, carvings, miniatures, tapestries and stained-glass windows all show the important part played by dancing and “dancerÏes” in court and city lite from the sixteenth century onwards. At that Ume, feasts, banquets, balls and various other entertainments would resound with the music of the “hautes danses”, with their rapid movements and Jeaps, and the noble, dignified “basses danses” (which Furetière described as the dances “of decent folk”).
