To create this stretched canvas print, your image is printed directly onto an artist-grade cotton canvas and expertly stretched around 1.5" wooden bars. An acrylic coating protects the high-quality giclée print from dust, moisture and fading. Finished with hand-painted edges, this stretched canvas print provides an artistic look with depth and texture. Pioneering Czechoslovakian artist Alphonse Mucha (1860 - 1939) created a sumptuous Art Nouveau style filled with soft colors, curving lines and ethereal women. Mucha was inspired to paint by the artwork he saw in churches. A starving artist in Paris, Mucha skyrocketed to fame after he created a life size poster for Sarah Bernhardt's play, "Gismonda." The poster, which differed from current artistic trends, made him a household name and earned him a six-year contract from Bernhardt. In the 1960's, Mucha's style was revived, especially in psychedelic posters.
