EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design for the opera, created by an Italian School in the 19th century. The private collection piece depicts a figure dressed as Saint Polyeuctus, the early Christian martyr. With her classical dress and headdress, this female singer embodies the essence of this tragic opera character. The attention to detail is remarkable, particularly in the portrayal of Saint Polyeuctus holding arrows and a quiver, symbolizing her impending fate. The intricate design of her costume reflects both elegance and strength, perfectly capturing the essence of this iconic figure. Gaetano Donizetti's opera "Polyeucte" served as inspiration for this exquisite costume design. Based on Pierre Corneille's play from the 17th century, it tells the story of Saint Polyeuctus' life and ultimate sacrifice for his faith. This print not only celebrates Italian theatrical artistry but also pays homage to classical music and opera. It serves as a reminder of how costumes can bring characters to life on stage while adding depth and authenticity to their performances. Giancarlo Costa's exceptional capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail that went into creating this masterpiece. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment in operatic history.
