EDITORS COMMENTS
This costume design is the brilliant work of Russian artist Ignati Ignatyevich Nivinsky for the 1922 production of the play "Princess Turandot" by Carlo Gozzi. The design is held in the esteemed collection of the State Central A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum in Moscow, Russia. Princess Turandot, an ancient Chinese princess, is renowned for her cruel challenge to suitors: answer three riddles correctly or face death. In this production, Nivinsky's design for the princess's costume is a stunning representation of Eastern exoticism. The costume features a richly embroidered, deep blue robe adorned with intricate gold and silver dragons, phoenixes, and other mythical creatures. The princess's headdress is a magnificent, towering creation, crowned with a radiant, golden sun and adorned with pearls and precious gems. The use of gouache on paper gives the design a vibrant, rich texture, bringing the intricate details of the costume to life. Nivinsky's masterful use of color and line creates a sense of grandeur and mystery, perfectly capturing the essence of the enigmatic Princess Turandot. Nivinsky's theatrical scenic painting is a testament to the artist's exceptional talent and his contribution to the world of ballet, opera, and theatre. His designs for the production of Princess Turandot were undoubtedly a visual feast for audiences in 1922, and continue to inspire and captivate viewers today.
