Description:All about the Belle Epoque: Delicate illustration that defined an eraWith his instantly recognizable decorative style, Czech artist and Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha (1860 1939) defined the look of the fin-de-siecle. In evocative shades of peach, gold, ochre and olive, his seductive compositions of patterns, flowers, and beautiful women became paradigms of the Belle Epoque years.
