EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stage set design for Act I of Maurice Ravel's timeless ballet, Daphnis and Chloe. Created in 1912 by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this watercolor on paper masterpiece takes us back to a world of enchantment and beauty. The scene depicted in this artwork presents a pastoral landscape, transporting viewers to the idyllic French countryside. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every brushstroke capturing the essence of nature's splendor. From rolling hills adorned with vibrant flowers to cascading waterfalls that seem to come alive before our eyes, Bakst's vision truly brings Ravel's music to life. Daphnis and Chloe was first performed in 1912 as part of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes company. This groundbreaking collaboration between composer Ravel and choreographer Michel Fokine revolutionized ballet at the time, pushing boundaries and exploring new artistic possibilities. As we gaze upon this stunning stage set design, we can almost hear Ravel's melodic compositions resonating through the air. It serves as a testament not only to Bakst's incredible talent but also to the enduring power of artistry across different mediums. Now preserved at Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this extraordinary piece continues to inspire audiences worldwide. Its presence reminds us of the profound impact that art can have on our lives – transporting us beyond reality into realms where imagination knows no bounds.
