Kalenderblad mei met kastanjebloesem 1902

Theo van Hoytema's "Kalenderblad mei met kastanjebloesem" (1902) is a striking example of Art Nouveau style. The image is a calendar page, featuring a blossoming chestnut tree surrounded by a decorative border of white blossoms on a green background. The detailed floral pattern and stylized lettering are characteristic of Art Nouveau, which aimed to evoke a sense of nature's beauty and organic forms. This piece, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to van Hoytema's mastery of graphic design and his sensitivity towards the natural world.
