Alphonse Mucha: "Zodiac" (La Plume) Art Nouveau Print (1896)

Adorn your space with the celestial beauty and flowing lines of the definitive Art Nouveau master. This exquisite Alphonse Mucha Zodiac reproduction is a foundational piece of the movement, embodying the mystic elegance of fin-de-siècle graphic design.

Originally commissioned by the printer F. Champenois and quickly acquired for the French art magazine La Plume, the 1896 Zodiac design became one of Mucha's most popular creations. It showcases his instantly recognizable style: a majestic, queen-like female figure is framed by a signature Mucha halo (or nimbus) that incorporates the twelve symbols of the Zodiac. The composition is defined by intricate decorative motifs, flowing arabesques (the hair and drapery), and a seamless fusion of natural and celestial elements. Mucha's work synthesized fine art and commercial design, making high-quality lithography accessible and turning the Art Nouveau aesthetic into an international style. This print is an essential piece of vintage French fine art for collectors and enthusiasts of the decorative, symbolic, and mystical side of the late 19th century.
