Roland-Holst, who became the director of the Rijks Akademie, was a champion of Art Nouveau in his native Holland. Throughout his career "he executed only 16 posters, 9 of the most brilliant being for the theater, where he often designed stage sets and costumes. Lucifer is considered the artist's masterwork and was personally printed by him" (International Poster).
