EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us to the enchanting world of Arthurian legend and the tragic love story of Tristan and Isolde. Created in 1894 by renowned English illustrator Aubrey Beardsley, this lithograph showcases his unique style influenced by Japanese woodcuts. In striking black ink, Beardsley's drawing skillfully captures the essence of this tale with its contrasting elements. The dark background contrasts with the delicate white flower at the center, a passionflower symbolizing love and desire. The bold lines and intricate details add an air of mystique to the composition. Beardsley's work often emphasized grotesque and decadent themes, as seen here in his portrayal of a chalice containing a potion – "le philtre d'amour". This magical elixir plays a pivotal role in Tristan's quest for forbidden love. The monochromatic aesthetic movement prevalent during the late 19th century is evident in this piece.

As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported into an era where literature meets art. Through Beardsley's skilled illustration, we become immersed in the spellbinding world of Tristan and Isolde – their passion immortalized on paper for generations to
