Louis Gueymard – Gustave Courbet, 1857
Archival pigment print
Edition of 25 per size
Printed on Hahnemühle paper
Original artwork in the public domain. Source image courtesy of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a scene from the first act of the opera, set in a cavern. Robert is shown playing dice with two servants of the devil, while his father, Bertram (an evil genius), looks on from the right. In this moment, Robert is singing the famous aria "L'or est une chimère" ("Gold is but an illusion"), right before he loses all his money.
This work was displayed at the Salon of 1857 and is a key example of Courbet's approach to Realism, applying his style to a modern, popular theatrical subject that was nonetheless set in the Middle Ages.
After Hours Art Editions publishes limited-edition prints for collectors drawn to mood, intimacy, and the charged space between art and desire.
