BLANK INSIDE
In Alphonse Mucha's remarkable pair of decorative panels, Byzantine Heads (1897), his profound admiration for Slavic culture shines through. The panels portray two women, Blonde and Brunette, in profile, adorned with Byzantine-inspired jewelry and set against a backdrop of ornate vegetal arabesques. The delicate lace-like patterns surrounding the circular frames pay homage to the skilled lacework of the Moravian region. The hair on this blonde beauty is adorned with a white scarf embellished with jewels and a pearl-fringed metal disk, exquisitely capturing the essence of Byzantine influence.

Mucha (1860-1939) was a visionary artist whose artistry and creativity shaped the Art Nouveau movement! Born 1860 in Moravia, now the Czech Republic, his artistic journey took him from a struggling artist to an internationally renowned master of his craft. With his distinctive style characterized by intricate patterns, flowing lines, and ethereal female figures, Mucha's art significantly shaped the visual aesthetics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries!
