This \u003cstrong\u003eMucha Reverie stained glass\u003c\/strong\u003e panel shows the personification of Reverie, seated in a beautiful dress. An ornate frame surrounds her like a jeweled setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMucha, a Czech artist working in Paris, became famous for decorative posters in the 1890s. His women wear flowing hair and halo-like rings of ornament, a motif that echoes Byzantine art. This Mucha Art Nouveau panel follows that formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Reverie design belongs to the early years of the advertising poster. Mucha made commercial art feel like fine art. Alphonse Mucha stained glass returns it to the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBold Outline, Flat Color, Open Light\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMucha drew with firm outlines and clear fields of color, a habit learned partly from Japanese prints. Those outlines read like the lines of a stained glass window. Art Nouveau stained glass suits his style, and in 1931 he designed a window for St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight lifts the quiet mood of this Mucha Reverie stained glass piece. Alphonse Mucha stained glass seems made for a window.

He found fame in Paris in the 1890s with theatrical posters for Sarah Bernhardt. His graceful women and flowing ornament became the face of Art Nouveau. Late in life he designed a stained glass window for St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague and painted the Slav Epic. Art Nouveau stained glass carries that flowing line into light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor More Reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/essays\/art-nouveau\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art: Art Nouveau\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.muchafoundation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eMucha Foundation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pacific Trading","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43155558432881,"sku":"T85590","price":97.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/0537\/files\/6d30f4b1-beae-497d-9224-39b8b716843a.jpg?v=1777668024","url":"https:\/\/www.museumize.com\/products\/mucha-reverie-stained-glass","provider":"Museumize.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
