About the piece

Painted in 1902 by Henri Fantin-Latour, this work illustrates the mystical 'Prélude de Lohengrin' from Wagner's opera. The piece is a hallmark of late 19th-century Symbolism, employing a hazy, dreamlike technique that emphasizes the spiritual and emotional weight of the Holy Grail as it is raised before a group of awe-struck figures.
