Carnaval 1896. Grand Veglione De Gala 1896

Jules Chéret's *Carnaval 1896. Grand Veglione De Gala* is a vibrant example of the *Art Nouveau* movement in poster design. Chéret, known as the "father of the modern poster," captured the excitement of a Parisian carnival event. The poster's bold colors, stylized figures, and flowing lines create a sense of motion and energy. The composition highlights the elegance of a woman in a green gown, her masked face gazing towards the viewer, creating a direct connection with the audience. The inclusion of the date, February 15th, 1896, underscores the poster's function as an advertisement for a specific event at the Théâtre de l'Opéra.
