MY DEAR SWAN! by Nina Nolte, acrylic on canvas, (110 × 130 cm / 43.3 × 51.2″)

This expressive portrait shows composer Richard Wagner holding the swan that, in his opera Lohengrin, carries the mysterious knight across the water to the Lady of Brabant.

The title MY DEAR SWAN! refers to Wagner’s iconic exclamation from the opera — a moment of deep emotion and theatrical beauty. The birch trees in the background stand in the historic Hofgarten in Bayreuth, the city most closely associated with Wagner’s life and legacy.

In this work, artist Nina Nolte merges mythology, biography, and personal homage — capturing the romantic grandeur of Wagner with a contemporary, painterly voice.
