"A Pavane," by Edwin Austin Abbey (American, 1897)
You may not know how to do it—almost nobody does these days—but you’ve most likely heard of it, even though 500 years have passed since it first hit the dance floor.
In this hour, a salute to the pavane, from 16th century France to modern-day America.
