Parsifal And The Flower Maidens
Fine art print, stone litho, Henri Fantin-Latour
, Parsifal et les Filles-Fleurs
This is a lithograph by the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, titled Parsifal et les Filles-Fleurs (Parsifal and the Flower Maidens). The artwork was created in 1885 as an illustration for Richard Wagner's opera Parsifal.
The lithograph depicts a scene from the opera where the hero, Parsifal, is in Klingsor's enchanted garden and is being tempted by the Flower Maidens. Fantin-Latour was deeply inspired by music, especially the works of composers like Wagner, and he created many imaginative lithographs based on operatic and mythological subjects. The artist is known for his realistic flower paintings and portraits, but his lithographs, often inspired by music, were a significant part of his work and are more associated with the Symbolist movement.
