Tristan and Isolde, 1912
Medium unknown
So pretty! I love the folds of Isolde's dress and the strands of her hair flying in the wind. For anyone who doesn't already know the story, Tristan is bringing Isolde to Cornwall, where she is to marry his uncle, King Mark. But they accidentally drink a love potion and end up falling madly in love, with depressing results.

Oooh. Sounds like an interesting story. It's an opera, right?
