La Bohème

1895

Adolfo Hohenstein's vibrant 1895 poster for Giacomo Puccini's *La Bohème* perfectly captures the romantic tragedy of the opera. The scene depicts a snowy winter day from the third act, where the lovers Mimi and Rodolfo embrace in the foreground while their friends Marcel and Musette linger in the background. Published by the prestigious G. Ricordi & Co., this design uses loose, painterly strokes and a muted winter palette to evoke the bohemian spirit of Paris. It remains a stunning example of Belle Époque graphic design that helped launch one of the world's most beloved operas.
