"Merlin" is an illustration by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898), an English artist, illustrator, and author associated with the Aesthetic Movement and Art Nouveau. Created in the late 19th century, this work is part of Beardsley's contributions to the visual interpretation of literary and mythological subjects, which he often rendered in a distinctive black and white style characterized by its sinuous lines, eroticism, and decadent elements.

The illustration "Merlin" is particularly notable for its depiction of the legendary wizard from Arthurian lore. Beardsley's portrayal of Merlin is imbued with the artist's signature stylization, featuring intricate patterns and an emphasis on the dramatic interplay of light and dark. The work is often associated with Beardsley's illustrations for the book "Le Morte d'Arthur" by Sir Thomas Malory, which was one of the artist's most celebrated projects, showcasing his ability to blend the medieval with the modern and the grotesque with the beautiful.

Beardsley's "Merlin" reflects the fin de siècle fascination with medievalism and the reinterpretation of classic narratives through a contemporary lens. The illustration is emblematic of Beardsley's broader impact on the graphic arts and his role in challenging Victorian norms through his provocative and avant-garde aesthetic. As with much of his oeuvre, "Merlin" exemplifies Beardsley's contribution to the development of Art Nouveau and his enduring influence on the visual arts.

The illustration is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its technical mastery and its capacity to convey complex themes through visual means. Beardsley's work, including "Merlin," continues to be studied and appreciated for its unique blend of elegance and edge, as well as its reflection of the artist's brief but prolific career, which was cut short by his untimely death from tuberculosis at the age of 25.
