Armand Point

The Golden Legend (Legende Dorée)

1897

"The Golden Legend" is a color lithograph by French Symbolist artist Armand Point that draws inspiration from Jacobus de Voragine's medieval religious text of the same name. Point employs the lithographic medium to create richly colored, decorative compositions that reflect the Symbolist movement's fascination with mystical and spiritual themes. The work exemplifies Point's characteristic style, which combines elaborate ornamentation with ethereal subject matter typical of late 19th century Symbolist printmaking.
