Alfonse Mucha Trappistine Nouveau Pet Name Tag

Vintage poster - Art Nouveau Alfonse Mucha - La Trappistine Famous art nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha created this beautiful art nouveau woman called "La Trappisine in 1897. Originally created as an advertisement poster for a Paris distiller, this art nouveau poster has stood the test of time, and is still as gorgeous today as it was back in the late 1800s. Alphonse Mucha's posters were all about swirling lines, beautiful women, and natural elements, and the artist almost defined the Art Nouveau style in the late 1800s. La Trappestine is a graceful young woman, standing looking out at us, against a background of a halo and circles, a background that Mucha used often in other paintings and posters.
