Zodiac — Alphonse Mucha’s Art Nouveau halo (1896)

A profile wreathed in stars and ornament: flowing hair, jeweled headdress, and a radiant ring of the twelve zodiac signs. In 1896, Alphonse Mucha distilled Art Nouveau into a single image—opulent line, floral geometry, and gilded calm—an icon that still feels effortlessly modern.

Why it captivates

Ornamental poetry — arabesque linework and floral motifs in perfect balance.
Celestial halo — the zodiac ring framing a serene, luminous profile.
Luxurious palette — teals, ambers, and soft golds that glow in any room.
Graphic clarity — crisp outlines and patterned fields read beautifully at scale.
Design landmark — a touchstone of the Paris Art Nouveau poster age.
Statement artwork — elegant focal point for living rooms, studies, and bedrooms.

What you’ll see

A female profile crowned with a jeweled headdress; cascading hair tendrils; a circular zodiac medallion with all twelve signs; filigree borders and floral devices; refined typography. Up close: razor-clean line and delicate stipple. From a step back: a calm, radiant icon.

A richer historical frame

Created at the height of Mucha’s Paris fame, Zodiac (1896) began life as an ornate calendar design for F. Champenois and soon became one of his most reproduced images (later appearing as a La Plume cover). It captures the movement’s ideal—uniting fine art, typography, and decorative design in one harmonious sheet.
