Knille, National Gallery, Berlin; canvas,
H. 8 ft. 10 in. × 9 ft. 3 in.; signed, dated
1873. Tannhäuser, the minnesinger, having
become sated with pleasure during his
visit to the Venusberg, determines, notwithstanding
the entreaties of Venus, to return
to Lisaura, whose love he had won at Mantua.
He is represented as starting up from
the flower-strewn couch in the crystal
grotto, with one hand on his lyre and the
other pressing his forehead, while Venus,
rising nude from her draperies, endeavours
to detain him by seizing his shoulder;
above, two cupids hold him by his mantle;
at left, one shoots an arrow at Tannhäuser,
while another gazes reproachfully, and in
front a fifth has rolled off the couch; in the
background, all manner of enchanting splendours.
