Delphi Alphonse Mucha Collected Works (Illustrated)

Alphonse Mucha, a Czech painter, illustrator, and graphic artist, is a major exponent of the Art Nouveau style, best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters and advertisements featuring idealized female figures. His unique and groundbreaking poster designs are among the most iconic images of the Belle Époque period.

Throughout his career, Mucha's artistic versatility shone through. In the latter stages of his life, he returned to his homeland and devoted himself to a series of twenty monumental history paintings, known as 'The Slav Epic', which depict the history of all the Slavic peoples of the world.
