Evening Star
Alphonse Mucha, the master of Art Nouveau, created this ethereal figure as part of his 1902 series 'The Stars.' While the title provided suggests 'Evening Star,' the text at the bottom actually reads 'Étoile du Matin' (Morning Star), showing a woman shielding her eyes from radiant sunbeams bursting behind her head. She stands draped in flowing, patterned fabric that swirls elegantly around her legs, all framed by a lush border of stylized leaves—a decorative style so iconic it helped define the look of the Belle Époque.
