Muziek by het treurspel Gysbreght van Aemstel door Bernard Zweers 1894 - 1901

This is a decorative panel by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen, created between 1894 and 1901. The work, titled “Muziek by het treurspel Gysbreght van Aemstel door Bernard Zweers”, is an illustration for the play "Gysbreght van Aemstel" by Bernard Zweers, which was commissioned in 1894 and premiered in Haarlem in 1901. The artwork depicts a scene of a woman, likely a muse, playing a lyre, while a scene from the play is shown at the top of the illustration. The panel is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau style. The Art Nouveau style was popular in the late 19th and early 20th century, known for its organic motifs, flowing lines, and decorative elements. This artwork is a testament to the artistry of Derkinderen and his ability to create beautiful and evocative illustrations.
