EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for the Ballet Hippolytus after Euripides, specifically Phaedra's attire. Created in 1902 by renowned artist Léon Bakst, this piece is currently housed in the State Museum of Theatre and Music Art in St. Petersburg. The art nouveau influence is evident in every delicate pencil stroke that brings Phaedra's character to life. The intricate details of her costume are meticulously rendered using watercolour and gouache on paper, showcasing Bakst's mastery of both graphic arts and set design. Phaedra herself stands as a mesmerizing figure against a backdrop of theatrical scenic painting. The ballet performance must have been truly enchanting with such stunning stage design complementing the dancers' movements. Bakst's genius lies not only in his ability to create visually striking costumes but also in capturing the essence of each character through his designs. This particular portrayal captures Phaedra's tragic beauty and inner turmoil, reflecting her complex emotions as depicted by Euripides. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when theatre was an immersive experience that combined visual splendor with powerful storytelling. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of fine art images within the realm of performing arts, reminding us that even today, these creations continue to inspire awe and captivate audiences worldwide.
