Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture and design, that peaked in popularity at the beginning of the 20th century(1880-1914) and is characterized by highly-stylized, flowing, curvilinear designs often incorporating floral motifs. Alfons Mucha gained recognition especially thanks to his posters for Sarah Bernhardt’s theatre in Paris. However, Mucha did not paint only posters. He is also the author of countless book illustrations, ornamental panels, advertisements, jewellery, decorative little statues and architectural designs. Reproductions of his designs are still used as a way to make manufactured goods more interesting and appear on biscuit boxes, postage stamps, and banknotes. He spent many years working on what he considered his masterpiece, The Slav Epic (Slovanská epopej), a series of huge paintings depicting the history of the Slavic peoples, bestowed to the city of Prague in 1928. He died in Prague on July 14 1939 of a lung infection. His grave is to be found in the Vyšehrad cemetery.
