Mucha Nuit European Wall Tapestry - Woven Floral Young Women Wall Hanging | Etsy


Mucha Nuit, also called Night's Rest, is a Belgian-made jacquard wall tapestry. In this work by the Czechoslovakian artist, Alphonse Mucha nighttime is personified in a piece from his Hours of the Day series, 1899. An ethereal woman is shown sleeping in the natural surrounds of the woods and bordered by flowers. She is clad in a flowing delicate gown before a background of darkened woods and the hint of the moon seen through the trees themselves to create a dreamlike background to the scene.

Mucha's works frequently featured beautiful young women in flowing, vaguely Neoclassical looking robes, often surrounded by lush flowers which sometimes formed halos behind their heads often using pale pastel colors. The Mucha Style became known as Art Nouveau French for new art and was often imitated.

Composition: 80% Cotton, 20% Viscose, and Polyester blend.
Origin: Woven in Belgium
Finish: Backed with lining and tunnel for easy hanging

This piece is a lovely addition to your home decor motif.
