EDITORS COMMENTS
Matilda Kschessinska, the renowned Russian prima ballerina assoluta, gracefully embodies the title role of Esmeralda in this photograph from the late 1890s. Taken by the skilled German photographer Karl August Fischer, this image showcases Kschessinska's unparalleled artistry and elegance as she brings the iconic gypsy character to life on the stage of an esteemed Moscow theatre. Esmeralda, a gypsy dancer and the object of obsession for Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame, is a complex and intriguing character from Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." The ballet adaptation of this story, which premiered in 1899 or 1900, provided Kschessinska with an opportunity to display her extraordinary talent and captivate audiences with her mesmerizing performances. Fischer, a master of his craft, expertly captures the essence of Kschessinska's portrayal of Esmeralda, immortalizing her in this stunning photograph. The intricate details of her costume, the expressive intensity in her eyes, and the delicate balance of her pose all contribute to the image's timeless beauty and allure. This photograph is a testament to the artistry and skill of both the dancer and the photographer, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Russian ballet and the extraordinary talent of Matilda Kschessinska. The image is proudly housed in the esteemed State Central A. Bakhrushin Theatre Museum in Moscow, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
