About this work

Artist: Henri Meunier (1873–1922)
Year: 1895
Medium: Colour lithograph (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche plate after the poster)
Original size: 39 × 29 cm
Collection: Centre des monuments nationaux, Paris (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, plate 40)
Movement: Art Nouveau

A woman in a yellow gown stands in profile against a green and blue night, a bright star and its rays above her, under the lettering of the Concerts Ysaÿe at the Cirque Royal in Brussels, with the date of the first concert. Meunier designed the poster in 1895 for the orchestral concerts founded by the violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, and the star, the flat colour and the long yellow figure are Belgian Art Nouveau at its simplest. This is the reduced version issued in 1896 as plate 40 of Les Maîtres de l'Affiche, printed by Chaix in Paris. The impression reproduced is from the Bibliothèque nationale de France's copy of the series.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A yellow figure under a star on green and blue, for a music room, bedroom or hallway at 12×18 or 16×24 in thin black or dark wood, no mat. It suits a white or navy wall and pairs with Meunier's Rajah.

Size. We'd hang this one at 12×18. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Concerts Ysaÿe in the public domain?

Yes. Henri Meunier (1873–1922) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Centre des monuments nationaux.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or dark wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Concerts Ysaÿe painted, and in what medium?

Concerts Ysaÿe dates from 1895 and was made in colour lithograph (Les Maîtres de l'Affiche plate after the poster); the original measures 39 × 29 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For Concerts Ysaÿe we'd choose 12×18.
