In the Woods
ca. 1899
Eugène Grasset, a Swiss-born artist who became a giant of the Art Nouveau movement, created this dreamy scene around 1899. A woman in a flowing, deep red dress sits peacefully among slender birch trees, her pale skin contrasting beautifully with the lush greens and blues of the forest. Notice how the white ribbon floats around her like a gentle breeze—it's a classic Grasset touch, blending nature and human form into a harmonious, decorative pattern that perfectly defined the era's aesthetic.
