Ysaye Concerts by Henri Meunier, 1896

Henri Meunier's vibrant 1896 poster is a classic example of Art Nouveau design, advertising a symphony concert at the Cirque Royal in Brussels. A striking woman in a flowing yellow gown stands against a deep blue night sky, blowing a long horn toward a shining star. The bold, flat colors and elegant lines were typical of the era's graphic design, meant to catch the eye of passersby. It promotes the 'Concerts Ysaye,' likely referring to the famous Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, making this a piece of musical history as much as visual art.
