Theo van Hoytema: Peacock among Poultry (1894) Art Nouveau Print

Step into the enchanted gardens of the late 19th century. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Theo van Hoytema’s 1894 masterpiece, a defining work of the Dutch Art Nouveau movement.

By 1894, Theo van Hoytema had perfected a unique lithographic style that felt both ancient and modern. In this celebrated illustration, he explores the tension between the mundane and the magnificent. The peacock—a classic symbol of immortality and vanity in Art Nouveau—is surrounded by domestic poultry, highlighting its otherworldly brilliance. Van Hoytema’s technique is extraordinary; the soft, hazy textures and muted, jewel-toned palette reflect the influence of Japanese ukiyo-e prints while remaining distinctly European. Each feather 'eye' is a focal point of rhythmic beauty, making this piece a pinnacle of Fin de Siècle decorative art.

Van Hoytema’s originals are prized for their delicate, stippled color transitions. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the deep teals, antique golds, and fine textural details of the original 1894 lithograph. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the moody, atmospheric depth of the artist's vision remains a captivating focal point in your home.

A perfect Statement Piece for a study, a dramatic dining room, or an eclectic gallery wall. This Van Hoytema Print is an exceptional gift for bird enthusiasts, art historians, and lovers of moody, vintage aesthetics.
