Reproduction template for the leaf for Gerlach's love allegories. New Series, Plate 35 1895

This reproduction template for a plate in Gerlach's love allegories series, created by Koloman Moser in 1895, depicts a faun gazing at a reclining female figure, perhaps a nymph, in a sylvan setting. The image exemplifies the artistic style of the late 19th century, characterized by symbolism and an emphasis on natural themes. Moser, a leading figure in the Vienna Secession movement, is known for his graphic designs, illustrations, and decorative arts. The graphic qualities of this artwork, combined with the subject matter, highlight the movement's pursuit of aesthetic beauty and the integration of art into everyday life.
