H Beard Print Collection is a 26 by Alfredo Valente, a Romanticism work, depicting shield, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print is a Romantic-era allegory from 1837. It shows a shield in a staged portrait of Kirsten Flagstad as Brunnhilde from Wagner’s Die Walküre at Covent Garden. The print captures one dramatic moment on stage. The artist, Alfredo Valente, printed this scene the same year it was performed. That makes this a quick snapshot of a famous opera moment. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum for more stage-themed prints.
