Kundry

1906. Oil on canvas.
Not on display

Egusquiza was an enthusiastic Wagnerian and a regular attendee at the Bayreuth music festival. He painted an ambitious cycle of the four principal characters in Parsifal, Richard Wagner’s last opera, first performed in 1882. The ambivalent figure of Kundry, here in her facet as temptress, is shown in a supernaturally lit Moorish setting associated with the evil sorcerer Klingsor, who uses her to distract Parsifal from his quest for the Grail.
