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 vibrant depiction of an Italianate streetscape. The artist captures the lively atmosphere of a bustling city with bold strokes of color and expressive lines. A group of figures in the foreground, possibly characters from Mozart's opera, add a human element to the scene. Konchalovsky's use of bold colors and flattened perspective is reminiscent of the Expressionist movement, conveying a heightened sense of emotion and drama. This design for an opera set exemplifies Konchalovsky's talent for capturing the essence of theatrical performance through visual art.
