Alphonse Mucha, "Ilse, Princess of Tripoli" illustrations [Part 2, Chapter 1] (both sides No. 63 & 64)

Sale price¥88,000

On pages 63-64, decorated with golden sunflowers, Irise and her friend Gerda quietly open up to each other in a nighttime conversation. Surrounded by fiery decorations, they discuss the practical issues of marriage and the anguish of their delicate souls as they want to escape it. The sight of the two of them exchanging words is ephemeral and fragrant, like flowers blooming at dusk, and is filled with heartwarming emotion.


Work Description

In this scene, Irise confides in Gerda her conflict about the marriage her father wants her to have. Her words are not a simple refusal, but more like a confession of a "poetic soul" torn between dreams and reality.
Metaphors such as "sadness like a veil over the eyes" and "a soul like a little flower blooming among all the joy" reveal Irise's poetic temperament that is unable to adapt to the real world.

Gerda loves Irize honestly and says, "I don't understand, but I love you." In response to this innocent declaration of love, Irize smiles and says, "That's fine." This tranquil exchange symbolizes pure friendship and love, just like the scent of lilies .

The illustrations that decorate the pages also echo these sentiments. On page 63, there is a figure of a woman looking up to the sky, and on page 64, there is a figure of two people embracing each other, visually expressing the intertwining of emotions in a poetic way.

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