EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the opera Turandot by Puccini, created in 1924. The vibrant color lithograph depicts an exquisite ensemble envisioned by Umberto Brunelleschi (1879-1949), now preserved at the Bibliotheque de l'Opera Garnier in Paris, France. The opera Turandot first graced the stage of Teatro alla Scala in Milan in 1926, composed by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924). This particular scene captured is from Act II and features a mesmerizing fusion of oriental aesthetics and tragic allure. A Chinese princess, portrayed with utmost grace and elegance, stands amidst a decorative pattern reminiscent of traditional Asian motifs. The dragon motif adorning her attire adds an exotic touch to her regal presence. Clad in a resplendent kimono, she embodies both strength and vulnerability as she navigates through the complexities of love and power. Published by Ricordi, this costume design encapsulates the essence of tragedy intertwined with elements of Eastern mystique. It transports viewers to a realm where cultures collide and emotions run deep. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intent. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance behind this creation but also the rich tapestry that lies within operatic storytelling.
