"Stage Design for Daphnis and Chloe by Léon Samoilovitch Bakst" refers to the set and costume designs created by the Russian artist Léon Bakst for the ballet "Daphnis and Chloe." This ballet, based on the ancient Greek romance of the same name by Longus, was choreographed by Michel Fokine and featured music by Maurice Ravel. Bakst's designs for the production were a significant contribution to the visual aspect of the ballet, which premiered in Paris by the Ballets Russes in 1912.

Léon Bakst (1866–1924) was a member of the illustrious group of artists associated with Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, an influential ballet company that performed in Paris and other international locations in the early 20th century. Bakst was renowned for his lavish and exotic designs that often featured bold colors, intricate patterns, and innovative use of materials. His work for "Daphnis and Chloe" was no exception, as he created a series of costumes and scenic elements that captured the idyllic and sometimes erotic atmosphere of the ancient Greek pastoral setting.

The stage design for "Daphnis and Chloe" showcased Bakst's ability to blend elements of classical antiquity with Art Nouveau and Orientalist influences, which were popular at the time. His designs played a crucial role in the overall aesthetic and success of the ballet, contributing to the immersive experience of the audience and enhancing the narrative of the young lovers, Daphnis and Chloe, and their adventures on the island of Lesbos.

Bakst's work on "Daphnis and Chloe" is considered a masterpiece of early 20th-century stage design and has been celebrated for its artistic innovation and influence on the development of modern stagecraft and costume design. The designs are often studied for their historical significance and are held in high regard by collectors and institutions that specialize in theatrical history and visual arts.
