"Theatre de l'Opera-Comique- Griselidis" is a c. 1900 poster by French artist Francois Flameng (1856-1923). The poster advertises the operatic play "Griselidis" set to music by Jules Massenet. The poster's composition features a dramatic scene with a monstrous figure at left, a woman in a flowing gown in the foreground, and a child behind her. The overall style suggests a blend of Art Nouveau and Symbolist elements, with the swirling flourishes of the lettering echoing the dramatic figures and the use of a stylized seascape in the background. This poster is an example of the visual artistry used to promote theatrical productions in late 19th-century France.
