EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Ida Rubinstein in the Ballet Phedre, created by the talented artist Leon Bakst in 1923. The image captures a moment of artistic brilliance and pays homage to the rich history of painting, theatre, opera, and ballet. Bakst's intricate attention to detail is evident in this masterpiece. The vibrant colors and delicate brushwork bring Ida Rubinstein's character to life on stage. The flowing lines of her gown exude elegance and grace, perfectly complementing her poised stance. It is as if she has stepped out from a dream into our world. The Ballet Phedre was a collaboration between Bakst and renowned playwright Jean Cocteau. Inspired by Racine's tragic play "Phaedra" it tells a tale of forbidden love, jealousy, and betrayal set against an opulent backdrop of Russian culture. This particular artwork is part of a private collection that cherishes fine art images like these. Its presence evokes nostalgia for an era when theatrical scenic painting held great significance in bringing stories to life on stage. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical importance within the context of early 20th-century Russian ballets. This print serves as a reminder that art transcends time and continues to inspire generations with its timeless allure.
