EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the extraordinary costume design by Leon Bakst for Carabosse, the wicked fairy godmother in The Sleeping Beauty. Created in 1921 for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, this stunning piece of art brings to life a character from Russian folklore. Bakst's intricate attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this costume. From the flowing black gown adorned with shimmering sequins and feathers, to the elaborate headdress that exudes an air of mystique and malevolence, it is clear that no expense was spared in bringing Carabosse to life on stage. The combination of Tchaikovsky's enchanting music and Marius Petipa's masterful choreography adds another layer of magic to this production. As dancers gracefully move across the stage wearing Bakst's exquisite creation, audiences are transported into a world where fairies and curses intertwine. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the immense talent and creativity behind one of history's most renowned ballet companies. It reminds us of the power of art to transcend boundaries and transport us into fantastical realms where dreams come true - or nightmares unfold. Whether you are an admirer of ballet, Russian culture, or simply appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and leave you longing for more glimpses into the magical world brought forth by Leon Bakst and his collaborators at Ballets Russes
