Zodiac (1896) Limited Edition Museum Print
A limited edition fine art print created directly from the rare original 1896 Alphonse Mucha poster Zodiac.
About the edition print:
Fascination with astrology and the zodiac surged during the late 19th century, along with interest in spiritualism, occult practices, and mystical beliefs. The Industrial Revolution brought about rapid changes in society, leaving many people feeling disconnected from nature and traditional ways of life. Astrology, with its roots in ancient knowledge, offered a connection to the cosmos during an era of uncertainty.
The Art Nouveau movement was also born at this time, emphasizing a return to beauty and craftsmanship inspired by the rhythm of the natural world. Alphonse Mucha's Zodiac blends the sentiments of the era with Mucha's famous style: an ethereal goddess with flowing hair and a crown of crystal, surrounded by a halo bearing the twelve signs of the zodiac.
