Primrose (1899)

Alfons Maria Mucha (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939), often known in English and French as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, known best for his distinct style. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs.

This panel was originally called Flower, but after the publication of the Flowers series, its name was changed to Primrose. It was printed on vellum paper and sold for 12 francs. A luxurious version printed on silk satin was also available for 40 francs.

The Mucha Foundation is an independent, non-profit charity devoted to preserving and conserving the Mucha Trust Collection and promoting the work of Alphonse Mucha.
