Minaret. Size: 35x25cm. Medium: Oil. Type: Reproduced/Recreated. 100% hand painted. Born in Russia in 1866, Leon Bakst belonged to a young generation of European artists who rebelled against 19th-century stage realism, sparking a revolution in theatre design. His fame lay in the sets and costumes he designed for Serge Diaghilev's (1872 – 1929) legendary dance company the Ballets Russes, and his huge pageant spectaculars for the dancer and patron of the performing arts, Ida Rubinstein (1883 – 1960).
