Mucha Matin Belgian Tapestry Wall Art

Mucha Matin, also known as Morning Awakening, is a Belgian made jacquard wall tapestry. Morning is personified here by a woman in flowing robes with a natural background of trees and border of flowers. The softness of the scene is portrayed by the use of complementing pinks and blues. This tapestry features the artwork of pioneering Czechoslovakian artist Alphonse Mucha (1860 – 1939) from the Hours of the Day series. Mucha's work celebrates the form of a woman in many ways, such as to symbolize the seasons, and the hours of the day. The Mucha Style became known as Art Nouveau French for new art and was often imitated.
