A Belle Epoque era art piece, this was created during the French
"Beautiful Era" (Belle Epoque) that began during the late 19th
century and lasted until World War I. A "golden age" for the upper
classes, peace prevailed among the major powers of Europe, new
technologies improved upper-class lives that were unclouded by
income tax, and the commercial arts adapted Renaissance and
eighteenth-century styles to modern forms. In the newly rich United
States the comparable epoch was dubbed the "Gilded" Age. In Great
Britain, this epoch overlaps the end of what is called the
Victorian Era there and the period named the Edwardian Era.
