Alphonse Mucha, "Ilse, Princess of Tripoli" illustrations [Part 3, Chapter 3] (both sides No. 123 & 124)

Sale price¥44,000

After completing their long journey, the soul finally exchanges farewell words in silence.
In Chapter 3 of Part 3, the protagonist Jaufre and Princess Ilse finally part ways. Depicted with a touch as soft as a sunset and as gentle as a dream, this scene quietly conveys the communion of the two souls and the transience of the moment when one awakens from a dream.


Work Description

On page 123, in a fantastical scene enveloped in a star-filled sky, the Princess and Jaufre hold each other's hands as they say a quiet farewell. The Princess holds out her hand, filled with such loving kindness that it "rejuvenates her aged soul," and he places it over his eye, traveling in a dream between death and rebirth. At the top of the page, two naked bodies with their backs turned to each other are close together in a circular motif reminiscent of the sun and moon, symbolizing the time that lies between this world and the other.

On page 124, Jaufre awakens from a dream and addresses the reader, "O Lady of Dreams." His voice breaks the silence, and as he opens his eyes again, he speaks in praise of "memory and hope." His confession that "in dreams we have no regrets" symbolizes the theme of the work, that memories of hope are what give people life. At the top of the page, a goddess-like female figure is depicted with her hair flowing towards the sky, visually supporting the uplifting feeling of the soul as it returns from dreams to reality.

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