Inspired by Berlioz' music of that title, this is an illustration of the complex story of Berlioz and his wife Harriet, that was transformed into music. It includes the horrors of changing personality, subconscious fears, and disillusion. Note the appearance of the snake that symbolises deceit and the shocking exposure of that which lies beneath the surface. Signed PBB.
