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. Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) is celebrated for his distinctive style: intricate patterns, flowing lines, and ethereal female figures that defined the Art Nouveau movement. His work profoundly shaped the visual aesthetics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries! This product was custom designed and created at our location in Seattle.
