The "Frontispiece to Pelléas et Mélisande" is a notable illustration created by the French artist Georges Marie Rochegrosse (1859–1938) for the publication of the play "Pelléas et Mélisande" by the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949). This work of art was designed to accompany the first edition of the play, which premiered in 1893 and is considered one of Maeterlinck's most important works. The play itself is a symbolist drama centered around a tragic love story and is known for its exploration of themes such as fate, love, and death.

Georges Rochegrosse, a distinguished painter and illustrator of his time, was known for his historical and mythological scenes, often imbued with a dramatic and romantic flair. His frontispiece for "Pelléas et Mélisande" captures the essence of the play's ethereal and enigmatic atmosphere, reflecting the symbolist movement's penchant for evocative and suggestive imagery.

The significance of the frontispiece is further enhanced by the fact that "Pelléas et Mélisande" was later adapted into an opera by the renowned French composer Claude Debussy (1862–1918), which premiered in 1902. Debussy's interpretation of Maeterlinck's play is considered a masterpiece of early 20th-century music and a seminal work in the impressionist movement in music.

The collaboration between Rochegrosse, Maeterlinck, and Debussy, albeit indirect, represents a convergence of talents in the visual arts, literature, and music, all contributing to the legacy of "Pelléas et Mélisande." The frontispiece by Rochegrosse not only served as a visual introduction to the printed play but also became an iconic representation of the story that has been associated with subsequent productions and publications of the drama and the opera.

In the context of art history and cultural studies, the "Frontispiece to Pelléas et Mélisande" stands as a testament to the cross-disciplinary influences and collaborations that characterized the fin de siècle period, marking an important moment in the evolution of European art and culture at the turn of the 20th century.
