Reason: A particularly beautiful photomechanical print (Which I presume is something like a photochrom) for a rather obscure opera. The paper had clearly discoloured, so I nudged it back towards original colours a bit. There's a rather art deco looking poster based on it as well, but this has far nicer colour and linework. It shows him climbing a mountain with the corpse of his beloved to disappear into an ideal sunrise as the old gods and they that worshipped them fade out of existence with the dawn of Christianity. It was the sort of stuff that was kind of a thing for a while around 1895 or so. You also get Elgar's "Scenes from The Saga of King Olaf" around then, for instance, before the rise of the Verisimo and modernist movements.

Support per nom. I wonder why there are two images nearly identical in the article though. This one is clearly superior however. Mattximus (talk) 15:52, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The article had no images, so I thought "Eh... the poster is somewhat different.... I'll throw it in." I'd imagine the poster will be first to go in any chop. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 6.4% of all FPs} 17:37, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
