“Almond Blossoms” Eyeglass Case
This stylish, faux leather eyeglass case features a vivid reproduction from the Almond Blossoms series by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh borrowed the subject, the bold outlines, and the positioning of the tree in the picture plane from Japanese printmaking.
The case is embellished with a pearlescent bead and tassel suspended from a gold chain. It provides excellent protection and snaps securely in place with ease.
Throughout history, great art and music like that heard at the Met have come together to create enriching cultural experiences.

History
Puccini’s original version of Madama Butterfly premiered at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala in 1904. The composer was inspired to write an opera about a tragic love between a young Japanese geisha and an American Navy officer after seeing David Belasco’s play by the same name performed in London in June 1900. Puccini’s score includes many Japanese folk melodies, and is one of his most sweeping and sophisticated. It remains one of the world’s most popular operas.
