Almee. Costume design for the ballet Sheherazade by N. Rimsky-Korsakov, 1910. Artist: Bakst, Leon (1866-1924) (Almee. Costume design for the ballet Sheherazade by N. Rimsky-Korsakov, 1910. Private Collection) captures the essence of exoticism and opulence in early 20th-century Russian ballet. This stunning watercolor painting showcases a vibrant and intricate costume designed by Leon Bakst for the iconic ballet Sheherazade, composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The elaborate turban adorned with jewels and feathers immediately draws attention to the central figure - Almee, an enchanting odalisque. Bakst's mastery is evident in his ability to capture every detail of this oriental-inspired ensemble, from the flowing fabrics to the ornate patterns that embellish it. The rich colors and delicate brushwork bring life to Almee's character as she graces the stage with her graceful movements. The Ballets Russes revolutionized theatrical arts during this period under impresario Sergei Diaghilev's guidance, attracting renowned artists like Bakst and choreographer Michel Fokine who collaborated on Sheherazade. This production transported audiences into a world of fantasy through its mesmerizing set designs and captivating storytelling. Today, this fine art piece serves as a testament to Russia's cultural heritage and its significant contribution to dance history worldwide. It
