Salomé. 1897.
ARTIST: ALPHONSE MUCHA (1860-1939) SIZE: 12 x 16 in./30.5 x 40.5 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: Mucha created this unbelievably seductive lithograph expressly for L’Estampe Moderne, a monthly portfolio of four lithographs issued between 1897 and 1899. His rendering of Salomé presents the legendary temptress as a Byzantine gypsy—wearing diaphanous apparel and raven tresses hung with rings, and plucking an ancient stringed instrument, no doubt to accompany herself in the “Dance of the Seven Veils.” (Art Nouveau; Artist: Mucha)
