EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stage design for the ballet Sheherazade, composed by N. Rimsky-Korsakov in 1910. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Leon Bakst (1866-1924), whose creative genius brought this enchanting scene to life. From a private collection, this image transports us back to a time when theatre and opera were at their grandest. The intricate details of the set design are truly awe-inspiring. Every brushstroke and color choice exudes elegance and sophistication, reflecting the opulence of Russian ballet during that era. This particular production was part of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, which revolutionized the world of dance with its innovative approach. Sheherazade tells the story from One Thousand and One Nights, where Scheherazade captivates her husband through storytelling each night to save her own life. The vibrant colors depicted in this lithograph perfectly capture the exoticism and allure of ancient Persia. Bakst's talent shines through as he skillfully combines elements of graphic arts with theatrical scenic painting, creating an immersive experience for both performers and audiences alike. His collaboration with choreographer Michel Fokine resulted in a visually stunning ballet that continues to inspire artists today. This remarkable photograph not only pays homage to Bakst's contribution but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Russian art critics and impresarios who shaped the world of stage design forever.
