About

Alfons Mucha (1860–1939) was a Czech painter and decorative artist who became one of the defining figures of the Art Nouveau movement. He rose to international fame through his ornate posters for actress Sarah Bernhardt. His work is characterised by flowing lines, pastel colours, and idealised female figures. Late in life he created the monumental cycle The Slav Epic.
