About the Item

Privat Collection Switzerland Léon Bakst, born Lev Samoylovich Rosenberg in Grodno, Russia (now Hrodna, Belarus), was a renowned Russian painter and stage and costume designer of Jewish origin. He was a prominent member of Sergei Diaghilev's circle and the Ballets Russes, for which he designed opulent and colorful sets and costumes. Bakst studied at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and later at the Académie Julian in Paris. His work for the Ballets Russes, especially during its heyday, was revolutionary and had a significant influence on fashion and interior design. Some of his notable designs include those for "The Firebird," "Sheherazade," and "L'Après-midi d'un Faune." Due to his Jewish heritage, Bakst was eventually exiled from St. Petersburg and settled in Paris, where he continued to work for various ballet companies until his death.
