Design for the opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 'Don Giovanni' 1913

Pyotr Konchalovsky's 1913 "Design for the opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 'Don Giovanni'" is a stage design for the famous opera. The painting features a large, white statue in the foreground, partially obscured by dark foliage and shadows. The statue stands on a pedestal with a black, decorative railing at the base, representing the setting for the opera. The artist uses bold strokes and contrasting colors, evoking a sense of drama and mystery. This design captures the essence of the opera, setting the scene for the tragic story of Don Giovanni, the dissolute nobleman. The painting's use of contrasting light and dark and bold brushwork exemplify Konchalovsky's artistic style, which was influenced by both Impressionism and Expressionism.
