EDITORS COMMENTS
Samson et Dalila" by Camille Saint-Saëns. The Art Nouveau design is a visual feast for the eyes, with its intricate lines, flowing curves, and rich colors. The central image features the biblical characters Samson and Delilah, depicted in an intimate and passionate moment. Samson, with his muscular build and intense gaze, is shown holding a sword, while Delilah, with her long, flowing hair and seductive expression, clings to him. The background is filled with swirling patterns and abstract shapes, adding to the sense of movement and energy. The title of the opera is written in elegant, flowing script at the top, while the names of the performers and the performance dates are listed below. Rochegrosse's masterful use of lithography brings the image to life, creating a dynamic and visually striking poster that perfectly captures the passion and drama of Saint-Saëns' opera." "Samson et Dalila" is a grand opera in three acts, first performed in 1877. The libretto was written by Ferdinand Lemaire and Camille Du Locle, based on the biblical story of Samson and Delilah. The opera tells the story of the powerful and vengeful Samson, who is betrayed by Delilah, who cuts his hair while he sleeps, rendering him powerless. The opera is known for its dramatic and passionate music, including the famous "Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix" ("My heart opens to your voice") duet between Samson and Delilah. This poster is a testament to the artistic collaboration between Rochegrosse and Saint-Saëns, and a beautiful example of the Art Nouveau style. It is a rare and valuable piece of fine art, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of French opera and theatre design.
