Sam Wolfe Connelly. Alphonse Mucha. Alfons Maria Mucha[1][2] (Czech: [ˈalfons ˈmuxa] ( ); 24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939), often known in English and French as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist,[3] known best for his distinct style.

Alphonse Mucha

He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs. Early years[edit] Alphonse Maria Mucha was born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia (the present Czech Republic). Although his singing abilities allowed him to continue his education through high school in the Moravian capital of Brno, drawing had been his main hobby since childhood. Mucha moved to Paris in 1887, and continued his studies at Académie Julian and Académie Colarossi.

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

Is an ukiyo-e series of large, color woodblock prints by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). The series depicts Mount Fuji in differing seasons and weather conditions from a variety of different places and distances. It actually consists of 46 prints created between 1826 and 1833. The first 36 were included in the original publication and, due to their popularity, ten more were added after the original publication.[1] History[edit] The most famous single image from the series is widely known in English as The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏, Kanagawa-oki nami-ura?) Each of the images was made through a process whereby an image drawn on paper was used to guide the cutting of a wood block. A collection of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji prints contained in the wellness spa of the Costa Concordia was lost during the collision of the ship on January 13, 2012.[3] A-Z of the Pre-Raphaelites: Rebel painters of a completely different nature - Features - Art.

The Brotherhood – Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Millais and William Holman Hunt were core members – and their disciples (including John Ruskin, William Morris and Algernon Swinburne) enthusiastically puffed each other's work in the press. Rossetti reviewed his own work under the name of Frederic Stephens (see Stephens). They were known, for a time, as the Mutual Admiration School. Also for Burne-Jones, Edward, who, under Rossetti's spell, painted pseudo-medieval courtly themes and female figures of a mysterious, and generic, beauty. Also for Brown, Ford Madox, painter, grandfather of Ford Madox Ford. C is for Collinson, James, painter and original member. D is for Dante Alighieri, Italian poet and cartographer of hell after whom DG Rossetti was named, and whose life and works he plundered for subject matter. E is for Euphemia "Effie" Gray, neglected wife and Pre-Raphaelite muse.
