PARIS. Original linen backed stone lithograph: Antar was a 6th-century Arabian warrior-poet.

The performance was canceled and the opera was not given until nearly 7 years later. Excellent condition. Music: Gabriel Dupont. Theatre National de l'Opera. This is an Art Nouveau period French advertising poster for the opera Antar. This poster features a large image illustrating a scene from the opera, showing a triumphant knight on a horse standing on large rock. Surrounding him to the front and sides is a dully colored rocky landscape, and on the left side of this landscape is a glimpse of a battle scene. Above and behind him the sun touches the mountains creating vibrant colors of oranges, pinks, and greens, which creates a dynamic contrast with the bright, blue sky in the background. This stone lithograph was created by M.G. Rochegrosse. Ref: French Opera Posters 1868-1930; Broido 23 |
