Cocorico (Rooster’’s Crow)
Mucha designed this captivating cover for the short-lived French satirical magazine Cocorico (which translates to 'Cock-a-doodle-doo') around 1899. A stylish woman with a massive, halo-like hat gazes dreamily upward, seemingly ignoring the giant rooster—the national symbol of France—perched dramatically behind her. The composition is packed with his signature Art Nouveau flair, featuring swirling hair, ruffled collars, and hypnotic circular patterns that frame the scene. It’s a brilliant mix of high fashion and farmyard symbolism, proving that even a weekly magazine cover could be a masterpiece of the Belle Époque.
