Painting Description
"Design for a Page Boy in 'The Sleeping Princess'" is a costume design created in 1919 by the Russian artist and stage designer Léon Samoilovitch Bakst. Bakst was a member of the Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, a company that revolutionized the ballet world with its innovative choreography, music, and visual design. Bakst's contributions to the Ballets Russes included the creation of exotic and lavish costume and set designs that played a significant role in the visual appeal of the productions.
The costume design for the Page Boy character was part of Bakst's work for the ballet "The Sleeping Princess," which is an adaptation of the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty." The ballet premiered in London in 1921, and Bakst's designs were noted for their opulent colors, intricate patterns, and historical accuracy blended with fantastical elements. His work often reflected his interest in the Orient and the exotic, which was a hallmark of many Ballets Russes productions.
Bakst's design for the Page Boy would have been intended for one of the supporting characters in the ballet, contributing to the overall visual narrative of the production. The design showcases Bakst's attention to detail and his ability to convey character through costume. As with many of Bakst's designs, it likely features a rich palette and a combination of textures and embellishments that reflect the luxurious aesthetic of the Ballets Russes during its heyday.
The piece is an example of the significant impact that the Ballets Russes and its artists had on the worlds of dance, fashion, and visual arts during the early 20th century. Bakst's work not only influenced the look of ballet but also had a broader cultural influence, affecting styles in interior design and fashion beyond the stage. "Design for a Page Boy in 'The Sleeping Princess'" remains an important artifact from this influential period, reflecting the synergy of visual art and performance that defined the Ballets Russes and its enduring legacy in the arts.
