Alphonse Mucha

Explore the art of Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939), the celebrated Czech master whose distinctive decorative style became one of the defining visual languages of Art Nouveau. While best known for elegant female figures, flowing lines, floral ornament and richly decorative posters, Mucha also created a very different body of Symbolist, historical and religious works shaped by spirituality, mythology and national identity. From refined decorative compositions to monumental works such as The Slav Epic, his career reveals two striking sides of an artist whose vision extended far beyond Art Nouveau.
