Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a groundbreaking ballet production that premiered in Paris in 1911, marking a significant milestone in the history of dance and the arts. This image is a print from Commoedia Illustrée, an Art Deco magazine, showcasing the ballet's costumes designed by the renowned artist Leon Bakst. At the left upper section of the photograph, we find the mesmerizing figure of Ida Rubinstein, portraying the role of Saint Sebastien. Dressed in an ethereal costume, Rubinstein embodies the martyred saint, radiating an aura of otherworldly beauty and grace. The intricate design of her costume, with its flowing lines and vibrant colors, is a testament to Bakst's artistic vision and the innovative spirit of the production. The ballet itself was a collaboration between various artistic luminaries, including music by Claude Debussy and an argument (libretto) by Gabrielle d'Annunzio. The production was a bold departure from traditional ballet, incorporating elements of symbolism, modernism, and Eastern influences. The result was a visually stunning and emotionally powerful performance that left a lasting impact on the world of dance and the arts. This photograph, with its horizontal composition and rich colors, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when art and creativity knew no bounds. The image of Ida Rubinstein as Saint Sebastien, dressed in her iconic costume, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire, captivate, and transform.
