EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite scenery design for the Imperial Palace, featured in the renowned ballet production of "The Martyr of St. Sebastian". Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst between 1911 and 1922, this colour lithograph captures the essence of Oriental mystique and grandeur. Commissioned by Ida Lvovna Rubinstein, a prominent figure in early 20th-century ballet, this stunning piece transports viewers to a world of opulence and intrigue. The intricate details of the interior design are awe-inspiring, with majestic columns and an orientalist flair that evokes images of Arabian nights. Accompanied by Claude Debussy's enchanting music composition, this scenic masterpiece immerses audiences into a mesmerizing realm where East meets West. The hypnotic beauty portrayed in this image is a testament to Bakst's artistic genius and his ability to capture both cultural authenticity and theatrical splendor. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this rare gem from Russian art history continues to captivate admirers worldwide. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its visual allure but also in its representation of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes' groundbreaking contributions to dance and theater. With every glance at this photo print, one can't help but be transported into a world filled with saints and moorish charm. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries – it transcends time, culture, and geography – leaving us forever captivated by its enduring beauty.
