EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for Oscar Wilde's iconic play, Salome, during the late 19th and early 20th century. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this stunning depiction can be found in the renowned Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. The image transports us to a theatrical courtyard bathed in the enchanting hues of evening or nightfall. A sense of tranquility pervades as we observe the deserted and peaceful scene. The vibrant colors and striped canopy add an element of drama to this outdoor setting, while a full moon rises above, casting its ethereal glow upon England's countryside. This masterpiece captures both the essence of British culture and artistry prevalent during that era. Bakst's meticulous attention to detail is evident through his watercolor technique which brings life to every architectural feature present in this edifice. As we gaze at this conceptual artwork, it evokes a sense of quietude amidst nature's nocturnal beauty. This remarkable print not only pays homage to Oscar Wilde but also serves as a testament to Bakst's artistic brilliance. It immerses us into an era where theater was revered as one of Britain's most cherished forms of entertainment. With its fusion of historical charm and celestial allure, this image invites us on a visual journey back in time – allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur of set design and our own fascination with lunar wonders.
