EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate costume design for the ballet Narcisse, created by N. Tcherepnin in 1911. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Leon Bakst (1866-1924), known for his exceptional contributions to theatre and set design. In this particular image, we are introduced to Phobos, a character from the ballet who undoubtedly adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the performance. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in Bakst's work truly bring Phobos to life on stage. The ballet Narcisse takes us on a journey through ancient Greek mythology, exploring themes of self-reflection and vanity embodied by its protagonist, Narcissus. Through stunning graphic arts and scenic painting, Bakst transports us into a world where beauty reigns supreme. This print offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Russia's opera and ballet scene during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to both Tcherepnin's visionary choreography and Bakst's unparalleled artistic talent. Preserved within a private collection, this rare gem allows us to appreciate not only the fine artistry involved but also provides insight into how stage design played an integral role in bringing narratives alive on theatrical stages worldwide.
