EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Paganini in The Enchanted Night, a play written by Gabriele d'Annunzio. Created around 1923 by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this watercolor on paper piece is an absolute masterpiece. The costume itself is nothing short of extraordinary. Paganini's suit exudes elegance and sophistication, perfectly capturing the essence of his character. Paired with a top hat and adorned with a monocle, it adds an air of mystery to his persona. A sketch of the outfit reveals meticulous attention to detail, highlighting Bakst's artistic genius. In one hand, Paganini holds a delicate handkerchief as if ready to sweep it across his face in a dramatic gesture. In the other hand rests his cherished violin - an extension of himself and his musical prowess. This instrument becomes both a prop and symbolizes his passion for music. The background features sheet music by Chopin, hinting at the enchanting melodies that will accompany this mesmerizing performance titled La Nuit Ensorcelée (The Enchanted Night). It transports viewers into another world where artistry reigns supreme. Overall, this print captures not only Bakst's remarkable talent but also pays homage to Nicolo Paganini (1782-1840), one of history's most celebrated violinists. It serves as a testament to their enduring legacy within both the realms of painting and music alike.
