Henri Fantin-Latour’s 1885 lithograph, “Frontispiece: Truth,” depicts an allegorical scene of a winged figure holding a sign that reads "R. Schumann, R. Berlioz, R. Wagner, J.Brahms." A nude female figure, perhaps representing Truth, stands on a pedestal gazing upwards. The lithograph, which is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Fantin-Latour’s skill in rendering detail and atmosphere.
