September
1894-1896
Step into the lush, stylized world of Art Nouveau with this vibrant celebration of autumn. Eugène Grasset captures the essence of September through a graceful woman in a flowing, patterned brown gown, cradling a harvest basket amidst blooming yellow chrysanthemums and berry-laden trees. The meticulously designed garden, complete with a classical fountain in the distance, perfectly embodies the movement's obsession with intertwining nature and elegant human figures. Originally created as part of a calendar series in the 1890s, Grasset's work helped define the decorative style that would sweep across Europe, turning everyday months into breathtaking visual feasts.
