Size : image 22.5 \u00d7 30.8 cm; sheet approx. 40 \u00d7 29 cm.<\/p>\n<p>High above the lights of Paris, Louise embraces her lover Julien. The city stretches behind them towards the horizon, while the couple seems almost detached from the world below. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Georges_Rochegrosse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georges Rochegrosse<\/a> chose one of the most romantic moments in the opera: the third act, in which Louise and Julien are living together in a small house on the slopes of Montmartre, looking out over Paris as evening falls.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Louise_(opera)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Louise<\/em><\/a>, for which Charpentier wrote both the music and the libretto, premiered at the Paris Op\u00e9ra-Comique on 2 February 1900. Its heroine is a young seamstress from a working-class family who falls in love with Julien, a bohemian poet. Against her parents\u2019 wishes, she chooses her lover and the free artistic life of Montmartre. The everyday world of workers, seamstresses, street vendors and artists was given an unusually prominent place on the operatic stage. Charpentier therefore described his work not simply as an opera, but as a \u201c<em>roman musical en 4 actes et 5 tableaux<\/em>\u201d \u2013 a musical novel in four acts and five tableaux.<\/p>\n<p>Paris is almost a character in its own right in <em>Louise<\/em>. The city represents freedom, love and temptation, in contrast to the restrictive parental home from which Louise is trying to escape. Rochegrosse powerfully encapsulated that idea in this poster: the lovers dominate the foreground while the vast city of Paris sparkles below them. The image is therefore both a love scene and an evocation of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fin_de_si%C3%A8cle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>fin-de-si\u00e8cle<\/em><\/a> Montmartre, with its associations of bohemian life, artistic freedom and liberation from bourgeois convention.<\/p>\n<p>Rochegrosse designed the poster in 1900, the year of the opera\u2019s premiere. The original large-format version was printed in Paris by Imprimerie Delanchy &amp; Cie and measured approximately 84 \u00d7 63 cm. That same year, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jules_Ch%C3%A9ret\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jules Ch\u00e9ret<\/a> selected the design for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ma%C3%AEtres_de_l%27Affiche\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Les Ma\u00eetres de l\u2019Affiche<\/em><\/a>, the prestigious series in which celebrated contemporary posters were reissued by Imprimerie Chaix in a more manageable format for collectors. This <em>Louise<\/em> appeared in one of the final issues of the series.<\/p>\n<p><em>Les Ma\u00eetres de l\u2019Affiche<\/em> was published from December 1895 to November 1900 and comprised 240 numbered poster plates, in addition to sixteen special plates. The lithographs were printed specifically for collectors and are therefore original works of Belle \u00c9poque graphic art in their own right, rather than later reproductions.<\/p>\n<p>Price: Euro 175,-<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOUISE \u2013 LOVE ABOVE PARIS, 1900 \u201cTh\u00e9\u00e2tre National de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra Comique.
