The Seasons – Winter
1896
Step into the freezing chill of 1896 with Alphonse Mucha's 'Winter,' part of his beloved 'The Seasons' series. A woman huddles in a sweeping teal cloak, her hand raised to her mouth as if blowing on frozen fingers, surrounded by intricate, snow-dusted branches that twist like frozen veins. This is Art Nouveau at its finest—Mucha was the absolute master of these flowing, organic lines that turned everyday decorative panels into high art. These prints were so popular they ended up in homes all over Paris, making Mucha the first true celebrity artist of the modern advertising age.
