Description from the seller
Alphons Mucha (1860-1939) (after)
Please take a look at the photos and assess for yourself this fantastic work, both the frames and the mirrors, in excellent condition for their age.
These lovely ladies are The Four Seasons, Alphonse Mucha, first version 1896.
Probably the most beautiful and elegant series of wall mirrors by Alphonse Mucha that I have had in our collection.
Size and weight excellent: 60x30x3
with walnut wood
This complete collection of stained-glass style mirrors is the first version of "The Four Seasons" designed by the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) in 1896. It is an extremely hard-to-find collection in this mirror format and with this framing.
With reserve price!
Unique and exclusive 4 mirrors in "stained glass style." This was Mucha's first set of decorative panels and became one of his most popular Art Nouveau series. The titles: "Printemps, L'Été, L'Automne and L'Hiver".
Alphonse Mucha created a series of posters titled "The Seasons" in 1896, which became one of his most iconic works. Each image in the series depicts a woman personifying a season of the year, with details that capture the essence of each period.
1. **Spring**: The woman is surrounded by blooming flowers, dressed in soft, pastel tones, symbolizing rebirth and renewal of nature.
2. **Summer**: Generally represented with warm, bright tones, the summer woman can be seen with wildflowers and wheat, symbolizing abundance and heat.
3. **Autumn**: Characterized by rich, earthy colors, such as reds and golds, the woman is often surrounded by fallen leaves and ripe fruits, representing the harvest.
4. **Winter**: The figure is wrapped in heavier clothing, with a cooler color palette, such as blues and whites, surrounded by snow and bare branches, symbolizing the stillness and cold of the season.
These works reflect Mucha's ability to combine decorative elements with human figures, creating harmonious compositions that capture the natural beauty of each season. He is known for his distinctive style, which heavily influenced graphic design and decorative art in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Reproductions of these works are quite popular and continue to be appreciated for their elegant and timeless style.
The frames are original and both the frames and the artwork are in excellent condition for their age.

Seller's Story
I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history.
I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
