Burnnhild, (1899) Gaston Bussière, Postcard


Burnnhild (1899) by Gaston Bussière is a richly symbolic and romantic Art Nouveau illustration capturing the legendary Valkyrie Brynhildr (or Brünnhilde) from Norse mythology and Richard Wagner’s operas. Rendered with ethereal elegance and detailed ornamentation, Bussière’s depiction emphasizes the mystique and tragic beauty of the heroine, blending Pre-Raphaelite influences with mythological drama. This vintage postcard reflects the fin-de-siècle fascination with mythology, femininity, and the supernatural.
