About the Artwork

"Tannhäuser on the Venusberg" (1864) by the French artist Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904) is a beautiful work inspired by Richard Wagner's opera. Fantin-Latour, a master of both still life and figure painting, was deeply influenced by music and literature. This painting, with its ethereal atmosphere and dreamlike figures, showcases his ability to translate musical and emotional themes into visual art.
