EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster transports us back to the year 1899, where we find ourselves immersed in the world of opera. Created by the talented artist Adolfo Hohenstein, this colour lithograph advertises a performance of Puccini's renowned opera, Tosca. The focal point of the image is a striking female figure, undoubtedly representing the tragic heroine herself - Tosca. Dressed in an elegant gown and holding a crucifix tightly against her chest, she exudes both vulnerability and strength. Her expressive face reveals the depth of emotion that awaits audiences within this gripping tale. Surrounding her are subtle hints at the themes that define this operatic masterpiece: death and tragedy. A lifeless body lies at her feet, symbolizing one of the story's pivotal moments. The somber color palette further enhances these melancholic undertones. Hohenstein's artistic prowess shines through in his meticulous attention to detail; every brushstroke seems purposeful and deliberate. The composition effortlessly draws our gaze towards Tosca while simultaneously evoking curiosity about what lies beyond her sorrowful expression. As we admire this historical print from Madrid's Biblioteca Musical collection, we cannot help but be reminded of Puccini's enduring legacy as one of Italy's greatest composers. This poster serves as a testament to his ability to capture human emotions so vividly through music. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Hohenstein's artistry but
