EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning scenery design for a Hindu Ballet, believed to be the renowned production "Le Dieu Bleu" from 1911. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this colour lithograph transports us into a world of enchantment and beauty. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the scenery design are truly mesmerizing. The stage comes alive with rich hues of blues, purples, and golds, evoking a sense of mysticism and spirituality. It is evident that every element has been carefully crafted to immerse the audience in an otherworldly experience. Originally inspired by ancient Hindu legends, "Le Dieu Bleu" was later adapted into a love story by Jean Cocteau. This ballet masterpiece made its debut on May 13th, 1912 at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Its performance marked an unforgettable moment in history as it showcased Diaghilev's Ballets Russes' innovative approach to dance and set design. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection and belongs to a private collection today. As we admire this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we cannot help but feel transported back in time to witness the magic unfold on stage. It serves as a testament to the timeless allure of ballet and reminds us of the power art holds in capturing our imagination.
