"Tannhäuser" is a notable illustration by Aubrey Vincent Beardsley (1872–1898), an English illustrator and author associated with the Aesthetic movement and the development of Art Nouveau in the late 19th century. Created in Beardsley's distinctive black-and-white style, this work is part of a series of illustrations he produced that were inspired by the themes of mythology, legend, and literature, which were prevalent in his oeuvre. "Tannhäuser" draws from the legend of the medieval German knight and poet, which was popularized by Richard Wagner's opera "Tannhäuser und der Sängerkrieg auf Wartburg" (Tannhäuser and the Singers' Contest at Wartburg).

Beardsley's "Tannhäuser" is characterized by its intricate detail, stylized figures, and the stark contrasts of black and white, which were hallmarks of his work. The illustration not only reflects Beardsley's fascination with Wagnerian themes but also his interest in exploring the boundaries of morality, sexuality, and beauty through his art. His work on "Tannhäuser" and other pieces often provoked controversy due to their erotic and decadent elements, which challenged Victorian norms and contributed to the artist's reputation as a provocateur.

The illustration was part of Beardsley's broader contribution to the art and literature of the fin de siècle, a period marked by a fascination with decadence and aestheticism. Beardsley's work, including "Tannhäuser," played a significant role in the visual representation of these themes, influencing both his contemporaries and later generations of artists and illustrators. Despite his short life, Beardsley's distinctive style and the bold themes of his work left a lasting impact on the art world, making pieces like "Tannhäuser" enduring examples of his artistic legacy.
