Painting Description
'''Costume Design for The Page in 'The Sleeping Princess', c.1921''' is a work by the Russian artist and stage designer Léon Samoilovitch Bakst (1866–1924). Renowned for his innovative and opulent designs, Bakst was a key figure in the art world of the early 20th century and a member of the influential artistic collective, the Ballets Russes. This particular design was created for the production of 'The Sleeping Princess', a ballet adaptation of Charles Perrault's 'La Belle au bois dormant', which is known in English as 'The Sleeping Beauty'. The ballet was first presented by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes at the Alhambra Theatre in London in 1921.
Bakst's costume design for the page character reflects the lavish and exotic style that characterized much of his work. His designs were often noted for their rich colors, elaborate ornamentation, and historical accuracy blended with fantastical elements. The costume for the page would have been no exception, likely featuring intricate patterns and luxurious fabrics that contributed to the visual spectacle of the ballet.
The design is a testament to Bakst's influence on the visual aspects of theatre and his role in revolutionizing ballet costume design. His work not only enhanced the narrative of the ballets he worked on but also left a lasting impact on the world of fashion and design. Bakst's designs for 'The Sleeping Princess' and other productions helped to cement his legacy as a master of his craft, whose work transcended the boundaries of the stage to influence the broader artistic movements of his time.
The costume design for the page in 'The Sleeping Princess' remains an important piece of theatrical history, exemplifying the synthesis of art and performance that defined the Ballets Russes and the creative vision of Léon Bakst. As an artifact, it provides insight into the elaborate production values of the time and the meticulous attention to detail that was essential to the storytelling in ballet.
