Alphonse Mucha, "Ilse, Princess of Tripoli" illustrations [Part 2, Chapter 2] (both sides No. 107 & 108)

Sale price¥33,000

After completing their pilgrimage in the East, the pilgrims return humming sacred songs as they finally set foot in the castle hall. Awaiting them is Jaufre, whose heart is trembling after their long separation. The pilgrims gather in his arms, their eyes overflowing with tears. Were those tears of sadness, or of inexpressible emotion?


Work Description

The chapter depicts the reunion of Jaufre with the Apostles, who have returned from their pilgrimage. They appear accompanied by lingering prayers and chants, and the decoration at the top of the page adds a solemn feeling. In a circular scene, Jaufre embraces the pilgrims, tear tracks visible on his cheeks. In the background, a train of birds and ears of wheat symbolize fruition, reunion and the fruits of faith.

The words of the oldest pilgrim exude a deep trust in Jaufre, as he describes the quiet miracles brought about by the journey and the grace he felt in a foreign land. In the following 108 pages, the pilgrims report to Jaufre about their journey, describing the beauty of the foreign sky, the tranquility of the starry night, and their encounter with the "Princess of Tripoli."

They still remember the sweetness of the princess's voice and the brightness of her gaze, and praise her as "the one who brought light to a distant land." With this description, Ilse's existence reaches Jaufre as legendary "gospel." The affection and beauty that are remembered beyond time and distance - their lingering echoes are deeply engraved on the pages, along with the supple decorations of Art Nouveau.

This work is included in the lavishly illustrated book "Ilse of Tripoli," published in German in 1901.
