EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for the character Phaedra in the drama Hippolytus by Euripides, created in 1902 by renowned artist Leon Bakst. The image is a testament to Bakst's mastery of his craft and his ability to bring characters to life through his artistic vision. Phaedra, a tragic figure from Greek mythology, is depicted here with striking elegance and grace. The intricate details of her costume reflect both her regal status and inner turmoil. The flowing lines and delicate colors evoke a sense of ethereal beauty, while subtle hints of darkness hint at the tragedy that unfolds within the play. Bakst's use of watercolor and white color on cardboard adds depth and texture to this stunning piece. Every brushstroke seems purposeful, capturing Phaedra's complex emotions as she navigates love, desire, and ultimately her own downfall. Displayed in the State Art Museum in Odessa, this artwork not only represents an important moment in theatrical history but also serves as a reminder of Bakst's immense talent as both a painter and set designer. It invites viewers into a world where artistry meets storytelling – where theater becomes an immersive experience that transcends time. This print allows us to appreciate Bakst's contribution to Russian ballet and opera while preserving his legacy for future generations. It reminds us that even centuries-old stories can continue to captivate our imaginations when brought to life through exceptional artistry like this remarkable costume design for Phaed
