EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume design for Salome in Dance of the Seven Veils, a ballet performance that took place in 1909. Created by the talented artist Leon Bakst, this watercolor masterpiece measures 46.5x29.9 cm and is currently housed at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia. The image depicts a mesmerizing female figure adorned in an alluring belly dancer outfit, embodying both sensuality and seductiveness. As part of the Ballets Russes movement, this costume design perfectly captures the essence of Salome's character as she dances her infamous Dance of the Seven Veils. Notably, this production was inspired by Oscar Wilde's play "Salome" with choreography by Mikhail Fokine and performed by renowned ballerina Ida Rubinstein. The combination of these artistic talents resulted in a visually stunning performance that pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms. Bakst's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from intricate patterns to vibrant colors, he brings Salome to life on stage. This iconic image serves as a testament to his immense talent as well as his contribution to Russian art history. As we admire this remarkable piece through time captured on paper, it reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by artists who dared to challenge conventions and create beauty that transcends generations.
