About the Item

The image is a poster for the opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), designed by artist Marc Chagall for the Metropolitan Opera. The artwork, created in 1966-1967, is a lithograph that features Chagall's signature whimsical and dreamlike style, characterized by a rich palette of blues, greens, and yellows. The composition includes fantastical animals and mystical figures, with a central figure playing a flute, surrounded by ethereal flora. The poster was created to commemorate the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center. This artwork is presented in a black wood frame with silver gilt fillet and covered with non-glare, possible museum glass. The poster by Mourlot is printed in France and marked along the bottom edge.
