EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a preparatory decor for the theatrical masterpiece "Le masque de la mort rouge" (The Masque of the Red Death) by Edgar Allan Poe. Created by Nikolai Nikolayevich Sapunov, a talented Russian artist, this tempera on cardboard artwork dates back to around 1900. Sapunov's exquisite attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring this scene from Poe's haunting tale to life. The set design transports viewers into the eerie world of the Red Death, where masked figures gather in an opulent ballroom amidst swirling clouds of crimson and black. The juxtaposition of light and shadow adds depth and mystery to the composition, enhancing its dramatic impact. With its rich symbolism and atmospheric ambiance, this piece exemplifies the art scenography movement in early 20th-century Russia. It is housed at the State Art Museum in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Through his masterful brushwork, Sapunov captures both the allure and terror that permeate Poe's story. This image serves as a visual representation of one of literature's most chilling tales—a testament to how art can transcend mediums and evoke emotions across time. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of Edgar Allan Poe's enduring legacy but also of Sapunov's immense talent as an artist who brought words to life through his visionary creations.
