The Art Nouveau illustrations of Alphonse Mucha

Alphonse Maria Mucha, 24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939, known internationally as Alphonse Mucha, was a Bohemian and Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist, living in Paris during the Art Nouveau period, best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters, particularly those of Sarah Bernhardt.

He produced illustrations, advertisements, decorative panels, and designs, which became among the best-known images of the period. Much obliged Pete Beard.
