Painting Description
"Costume for a page, in the style of Ludwig XIV, from Aladdin, 1916" is a notable work by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst, a Russian painter and scene and costume designer associated with the Ballets Russes and the Art Nouveau movement. Bakst was renowned for his innovative and opulent designs that blended historical accuracy with fantastical elements, which were instrumental in revolutionizing the aesthetics of ballet and theatre at the turn of the 20th century.
This particular costume design was created for the production of "Aladdin," a ballet that premiered in 1916. The design reflects Bakst's fascination with the lavishness of the French Baroque period, as epitomized by the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. Bakst's interpretation for the page's costume in "Aladdin" is a testament to his ability to reimagine historical dress with a modern twist, infusing it with rich colors, intricate patterns, and luxurious textures that were characteristic of his style.
The costume features elements typical of the Baroque period, such as elaborate ornamentation, structured silhouettes, and the use of sumptuous fabrics, all re-envisioned through Bakst's imaginative lens. The design likely includes a combination of breeches, a fitted jacket with decorative buttons, and possibly a cloak or cape, all adorned with ornate detailing that would have sparkled under the stage lights. Accessories such as a feathered hat, period-appropriate shoes, and perhaps a rapier would complete the ensemble, contributing to the grandeur and historical resonance of the costume.
Léon Bakst's work on "Aladdin" and other productions left a lasting impact on the visual language of theatre and the performing arts. His costume designs are celebrated for their artistic merit and contribution to the cultural milieu of the early 20th century, and they continue to be studied and admired for their aesthetic innovation and historical significance.
