EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Italian puppet costume design for the ballet "The Magic Toy Shop" by G. Rossini, created in 1919. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Leon Bakst (1866-1924), a renowned figure in the world of theatre and opera. This particular artwork originates from a private collection, adding to its rarity and allure. Bakst's talent shines through as he brings to life a whimsical character that perfectly embodies the magic and charm of the ballet. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph capture the essence of Russian ballet, which was greatly influenced by Bakst's artistic vision. "The Magic Toy Shop" holds great significance within the realm of fine arts, particularly as part of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes movement. Sergei Diaghilev, one of history's most influential impresarios and theatrical scenic painters, played a pivotal role in bringing this production to life. It is worth noting that this specific costume design was created for Rossini's "La Boutique Fantasque" also known as "The Magic Toy Shop". This collaboration between two creative geniuses resulted in an enchanting performance that continues to captivate audiences even today. As we admire this stunning photograph print, let us appreciate not only Bakst's exceptional talent but also his contribution to Russian art critics' acclaim and recognition worldwide. Let it serve as a reminder of the timeless beauty found within both visual arts and performing arts alike.
