EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stage design for the ballet Daphnis et Chloe, composed by M. Ravel in 1912. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Leon Bakst (1866-1924), a renowned figure in the world of theatre and opera. This particular stage design was sourced from a private collection, adding to its rarity and allure. The image transports us back to early 20th-century Russia, where ballets were flourishing under the influence of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Bakst's intricate set design captures the essence of this enchanting production with its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. Daphnis et Chloe tells a timeless love story through dance, and Bakst's creation sets the perfect backdrop for such an ethereal narrative. His use of color lithography brings life to every element on stage, immersing both performers and audience members alike into a world filled with beauty and emotion. Bakst's talent as a scenic painter shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to create breathtaking visuals that enhance any theatrical experience. His collaboration with choreographer Michail Fokin resulted in one of Russian ballet's most celebrated productions. This print not only serves as a testament to Bakst's artistic genius but also pays homage to the rich history of Russian ballet during this period. It stands as a reminder of how artistry can transcend time and continue inspiring generations long after its creation.
