ART NOUVEAU



La Passion Christ, Alfonse Mucha, 1904

This work relates to the theme of art nouveau, due to its nuanced attention to artistic flourish. There is special attention to curves in the piece within the robes and the crown of thorns. Not only is the color palette expressive of art nouveau, but the background also features floral motifs and other delicate curves. This work differs from other examples as it is a piece featuring a religious figure, Jesus Christ. Not only is it notable that the main subject is religion, but it is also a man. In many other pieces, females were the ones being placed in the subject with special notice to their curves. This work stood out to me as it featured Jesus Christ, and it was one of the first religious pieces I've seen from this period of time. I find it interesting to see how different art movements work on religious materials.
