Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli (1824–1886) was a French painter known for his richly colored and textured works, often depicting romantic and fantastical themes. One of his notable paintings is "Mephisto from the Opera Faust," which draws inspiration from Charles Gounod's opera "Faust," itself based on Goethe's dramatic work. The character Mephisto, or Mephistopheles, is a central figure in the Faust legend, representing the devil who makes a pact with Faust, offering him unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures in exchange for his soul.

Monticelli's interpretation of Mephisto captures the character's enigmatic and sinister nature. The painting is characterized by Monticelli's signature style, which includes vibrant colors and a thick application of paint, creating a sense of depth and movement. His technique often involved layering colors to achieve a luminous effect, which can be seen in the way he portrays the dramatic and otherworldly presence of Mephisto.

The painting reflects Monticelli's interest in theatrical and operatic subjects, as well as his ability to convey mood and emotion through color and form. While Monticelli was not widely recognized during his lifetime, his work later gained appreciation and influenced artists such as Vincent van Gogh, who admired Monticelli's use of color and expressive brushwork.

"Mephisto from the Opera Faust" exemplifies Monticelli's ability to blend narrative content with his unique artistic style, creating a piece that is both visually striking and thematically rich. The painting remains a testament to Monticelli's contribution to 19th-century art, showcasing his ability to interpret literary and musical themes through his distinct visual language.
