A Repetition of "Tristan und Isolde" 1896

"A Repetition of 'Tristan und Isolde'" is a black and white illustration by Aubrey Beardsley, created in 1896, that uses a bold, graphic style to depict a scene from the opera "Tristan und Isolde" by Richard Wagner. The artwork features a dramatic use of line and shadow, with the figures silhouetted against a dark background. The use of repetition in the design, particularly in the pattern of roses on the woman's dress, adds to the visual intensity and emotional impact of the piece. Beardsley's illustration is characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, which flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
