Maria Taglioni is considered the greatest dancer of the nineteenth century, and the personification of the Romantic movement. She was the first to understand the innovative impact of the pointe work technique, transforming it from a purely virtuoso technique into a true form of expression, and thus making it the main feature of the romantic dance style. We also owe the tutu costume to her.
