Alphonse Mucha

“Alfons Maria Mucha (Ivančice, 24 July 1860 – Prague, 14 July 1939), often known in English and French as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist, known best for his distinct style. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs.”

F. Champenois was a printing and advertising press company in Paris. The owners had a long standing relationship with Alphonse Mucha, and he regularly produced portfolios of the seasons (pictured here) as well as calendar plates that advertised and promoted for F. Champenois.

The 2nd set down from the top was the 1900 portfolio. I am not sure of the release years for the other portfolios. But they were annually produced over the course of Mucha’s career and relationship with the publishing company, F. Champenois.

The Seasons, by Alphonse Mucha. these were produced for F. Champenois in the year 1900. From the top: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.
