Jalousie (Jealousy)
Look at that hair—it’s basically a golden cloud! Eugène Grasset, a Swiss-born pioneer of the Art Nouveau movement, created this circular gem titled 'Jalousie' (Jealousy). Despite the fiery title, the woman looks more melancholic, gazing past a thicket of yellow roses while clutching her patterned brown cloak. Grasset was a major influence on the famous Alphonse Mucha, and you can see the family resemblance in the flat colors and swirling organic lines. It’s a perfect example of how Art Nouveau turned even negative emotions into decorative, dreamlike scenes.
