Alphonse Mucha was born on July 24th 1860 in Ivancice, South Moravia, to, father, Ondfiej Mucha.
After some misfortune, Mucha made his entrance to the art and design industry through a job offered to him by Count Khuen Belasi. Belasi hired Mucha to decorate his castle in Emmahof. Belasi's brother then decided to mentor Mucha and sponsor his education which kick-started his future.
Mucha was in Czechoslovakia in 1989, and when the nazis invaded, he was arrested and put through questioning before he was permitted to return home. Mucha passed away on the 14th of July in Prague, later that year.
During his life, Alphonse Mucha produced a lot of paintings and images of women. The images he produced are very feminine and delicate in appearance.Each of his images contain a large amount of detail, and the use of ornate framing appears often in his works.< I like this one of his designs particularly because of it's celestial appearance, Mucha has made it so that the woman appears to be ascending to the heavens like and angel.
< Of Mucha's designs, this one is my favorite. I love the graceful appearance of the woman and the flow of the fabric draped around her. I also like his choice of colour's; most of the colour's are shades of orange and they blend together, and then there is the blue in the mid-ground and back-ground that stand out, it is very effective.
