EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Russian ballerina Lubov Tschernicheva (1890-1976) gracefully embodies one of the Maids of Honour from Velasquez's iconic painting "Las Meninas" (1659-60). Taken in 1928 at His Majesty's Theatre in London, the image captures Tschernicheva's ethereal presence as she dons an elaborate and intricately designed costume, complete with a wide, flowing skirt and an ornate headdress. As a esteemed member of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, Tschernicheva was a trailblazing figure in the world of dance during the 1920s. Her performance in this production of "Las Meninas" showcases her exceptional talent and versatility, as she seamlessly transported herself and the audience to the Spanish court of King Philip IV. The photograph, taken by the renowned British portrait photographer Madame Yevonde, beautifully captures the essence of the 1920s theatrical scene. The era was marked by its innovative and experimental approach to performance and entertainment, and this photograph stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this time. Tschernicheva's poised and regal demeanor, combined with the stunning details of her costume and the dramatic lighting in the photograph, create an image that is both timeless and captivating. This photograph is not only a window into the past, but also a reminder of the power of dance to transport us to other worlds and realms of imagination.
