Ivy 1901

Alphonse Mucha's "Ivy" (1901) is a prime example of Art Nouveau, a style popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image features a beautiful woman adorned with ivy, her profile presented against a delicate background of floral patterns. The work is known for its graceful lines, organic forms, and use of muted colors, all contributing to a sense of elegance and refinement. This piece, characteristic of Mucha's work, embodies the key principles of Art Nouveau - nature, femininity, and an emphasis on decorative elements.
