EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense atmosphere of the riots in Paris during a performance of Richard Wagner's "Lohengrin" at the Palais Garnier in 1891. The engraving, skillfully created by Fortune Meaulle, transports us back to that historic moment when music clashed with political tensions. The image depicts a street scene filled with a passionate crowd protesting against Wagner's controversial opera. Known for its nationalistic themes, "Lohengrin" had ignited strong emotions among the French people who saw it as an affront to their patriotic values. Demonstrators gathered at Place de l'Opera, expressing their discontent through this powerful manifestation. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can almost feel the energy emanating from the protesters. Their determination is palpable as they unite against what they perceive as an attack on their cultural identity. The composition expertly captures both chaos and unity within this sea of faces. Richard Wagner himself was no stranger to controversy throughout his career, but these riots in Paris serve as a testament to his ability to provoke strong reactions through his music. This engraving by Stefano Bianchetti serves as a visual reminder of how art can ignite fervent debates and inspire collective action. Through this evocative print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment where music collided with politics on the streets of Paris - forever etching itself into history books and our collective memory.
