Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin, "Tsar Saltan and Babarikha" Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin 1876-1942 TSAR SALTAN AND BABARIKHA signed in Latin, initialled in Cyrillic and dated 1929 l.l. watercolour and gouache over pencil on paper 45.5 by 53.8cm., 18 by 21 1/4 in.\ Bilibin had moved to France in 1925 and stayed there until 1936. The present work, executed at the height of the artist's powers in 1929, is a jewel-like composition that draws on the influences of Russian folk art, icon-painting and mediaeval manuscript illumination. Whilst working on the series of small 'panels' from Pushkin's Tale of Tsar Saltan to which the offered lot belongs, Bilibin had also been designing the stage-sets and costumes for Rimsky-Korsakov's opera of the same name, which had its premiere as part of the Russian opera season in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Indeed, Bilibin incorporated certain elements from the decorative panels into the set designs. |
