Tapestry Mucha – Winter

Very beautiful representation of Mucha’s painting in the form of a tapestry woven on a Jacquard loom.

Mucha is at the origin of Art Nouveau. He likes to work with series of panels. This is how Alphonse Mucha performs the 4 seasons. Spring, summer, fall and winter.

To represent winter, Mucha chose a beautiful young woman hiding a small bird in her hands, in order to warm it. The character is presented surrounded by snow and white expressing the cold but the viewer’s gaze is drawn to the face of the young woman
