呪文(サラマンボ) by Alphonse Mucha, 1897

Step into the mystical world of ancient Carthage with this stunning 1897 masterpiece by Alphonse Mucha. The central figure is Salammbo, a high priestess draped in flowing white robes and a magnificent peacock-feather headdress, her arms outstretched in a powerful incantation. Below her, a figure kneels in reverence as mysterious white streams flow into bowls amidst scattered flowers and a large harp. This piece is part of a series illustrating Gustave Flaubert's historical novel, showcasing Mucha's signature Art Nouveau style—those swirling, organic lines and decorative halos are his absolute trademark.
