Art Nouveau Set of 4 MUCHA French Style Picture Frame Print Elegant Lady - Times Of Day - Alphonse
Set of 4 Prints in the Art Nouveau style frame in a rustic natural finish.
Alphonse Mucha’s The Times of the Day (Les Heures du Jour) is a legendary four-panel colour lithograph series published in 1899 by F. Champenois. Much like The Seasons, this decorative series personifies transitions in nature by capturing four times of the day through beautiful, idealized women whose moods and environments shift with the light.
The defining stylistic choice of this series is that each woman is set inside an elaborate, Gothic-window-style ornamental arched frame woven with delicate floral motifs
Morning Awakening (Éveil du Matin): Depicts a fair-haired woman in a soft pink dress stretching playfully in a lush, grassy landscape surrounded by fresh mauve flowers. The overall mood is fresh, bright, and filled with early daylight.
Brightness of Day (Éclat du Jour): Features a fair-haired woman in a warm beige strapless gown, casually resting her arms around her head. She is set in a sandy, sun-drenched landscape filled with vibrant yellow daisies, capturing the intense warmth of midday
Evening Contemplation (Rêverie du Soir): Shows an auburn-haired woman viewed from the side, leaning thoughtfully against a support structure among pale trees. The background features a fading pink sunset sky, capturing a quiet, reflective atmosphere.
Night's Rest (Repos de la Nuit): Portrays a dark-haired woman with her eyes softly closed, resting peacefully under the glow of a full moon. She is framed by thin, moonlit trees and cool mauve flowers, perfectly capturing a quiet, dark slumber
In very good condition may have minor imperfections or marks on the frame. It's an ideal addition to any interior seeking vintage charm and timeless appeal with an interesting story behind it.
