EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "St. Sebastian, from the Martyr of St. Sebastian" a remarkable piece of artwork created by Leon Bakst between 1911 and 1922. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this iconic martyrdom scene, depicting St. Sebastian as a female figure tied to a stake, pierced by arrows. Commissioned by Ida Lvovna Rubinstein in 1911, this stunning litho was not only an artistic masterpiece but also served as the backdrop for a ballet performance with music composed by Claude Debussy. The image exudes both strength and vulnerability as it portrays the intense suffering endured by St. Sebastian. Bakst's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the delicate balance between pain and beauty that characterizes this tragic moment in history. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and intensity to the composition, enhancing its emotional impact on viewers. The Stapleton Collection proudly houses this rare gem from Russian art history, which remains out of copyright today. It serves as a testament to Bakst's exceptional talent and his contribution to the Ballets Russes Diaghilev movement. As you gaze upon this mesmerizing print, allow yourself to be transported back in time - witness the courage and sacrifice embodied within St. Sebastian's story while appreciating Bakst's extraordinary artistic vision that has stood the test of time.
