EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, created by Eugene Grasset in 1893, showcases the enchanting opera "Werther" by Jules Massenet. The Theatre National des Opera-Comique in Paris proudly displayed this vibrant lithograph that beautifully captures the essence of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic love story. The scene depicted in the print portrays a heart-wrenching moment between two lovers, Werther and Lotte. Their hands gently touch as they share an intimate embrace, their expressions filled with both longing and sorrow. In the background, we catch a glimpse of children playing, symbolizing the family life that Werther longs for but can never have. Grasset's use of color adds depth and emotion to this dramatic composition. The warm hues evoke a sense of passion while also hinting at impending tragedy. As viewers gaze upon this poster, they are transported back to 19th-century Europe, immersing themselves in the world of German literature and French opera. This artwork not only pays homage to Goethe's timeless tale but also celebrates the collaboration between composers and writers during this era. It serves as a reminder of how music and literature intertwine to create powerful storytelling experiences that resonate with audiences across generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece from history's grasp so that we may continue to appreciate its beauty today.
