An Unfolded French Travel Poster (measures 25" x 39" [64 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) The Palais Garnier (also known as Opera Garnier) is an opera house in Paris, France. It was built for the Paris Opera from 1861 to 1875 at the behest of Emperor Napoleon III. It was the primary theatre of the Paris Opera and its associated Paris Opera Ballet until 1989, when a new opera house opened, and the company now uses the Palais Garnier mainly for ballet. The theatre has been an official French historic monument since 1923. Artist: d'apres Marc Chagall Important Added Info: Note that Marc Chagall was commissioned to redo the ceiling of the Paris Opera in 1963. The opera house also asked Chagall to design a limited edition poster for the ceiling's debut. The artist based this poster on a portion of the mural featuring Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. We are guessing that the "d'apres" at lower left may just be because this is based on part of his actual ceiling art. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has tiny pinholes around the edges and a small tear at upper left. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
