EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite set design for a Ballets Russes production of Maurice Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe in 1912. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this artwork was published in L'Art Decoratif de Leon Bakst in Paris, 1913 and is now part of a private collection. The image transports us to a mythical world where Greek mythology comes alive on stage. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring out the essence of rural life and shepherd culture. In the foreground, we see a flock of sheep peacefully grazing under the watchful eye of a herdsman. This depiction beautifully captures the harmony between man, animal, and nature. The set design reflects both Russian artistry and Art Deco influences prevalent during that era. The female figure standing gracefully amidst the countryside adds an element of elegance to this pastoral scene. It evokes feelings of tranquility while hinting at the upcoming ballet performance. Bakst's illustration skillfully combines various elements such as music, dance, mythology, and rustic imagery into one cohesive composition. This visual masterpiece not only serves as an artistic expression but also pays homage to classical music through its portrayal of Ravel's renowned composition. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century entertainment culture with its stunning blend of art forms - from painting to ballet - creating an enchanting experience for viewers even after all these years.
