Alphonse Mucha La Plume Quill Pen iPhone 5 Case

La Plume (The Pen -- also known as The Quill) by Alphonse Mucha, 1899 One of two decorative panels from the set Plume et Primevere. This work is lesser known but is among the most highly praised by art critics. "These two symbolic figures, complete with Mucha's customary aureoles around their heads and adorned with filigrees in their hair, comprise one of the best decorative panel sets marketed by Champenois" (Rennert/Weill p. 240). The lady holds a feather quill and laurel branches before her, a faint smile playing on her lips. Her fabulous jewellery and headpiece suggests a theatrical performance of the day, and her blonde hair is swept up. The mosaic medallion behind her lends a marvellous tactile sense. In the upper corners you can glimpse blue roses. Colours include chocolate brown, French blue, golden yellow, soft sage greens, blue green, cinnabar red, white and rosy beige. A perfect gift for a writer, reader or anyone who loves art, books and literature. Matching items and more are available in our store's Art Nouveau Collection. .
