About this work

Artist: Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939)
Year: 1896
Medium: Colour lithograph
Original size: approx. 103 × 54 cm
Collection: Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris (department of Prints and Photography)
Movement: Art Nouveau
Series: The Seasons (1896)

A woman with chrysanthemums in her dark hair reaches up to gather grapes from a vine, her russet-draped figure set against a warm sky and the brown and gold of the turning year. Autumn is the third of The Seasons, the set of four decorative panels Mucha designed in Paris in 1896, printed as colour lithographs by F. Champenois and sold for framing in the home. It was his first series of this kind, following the fame of his Sarah Bernhardt posters, and its success led him to design two further Seasons sets, in 1897 and 1900, and the Flowers, Arts and Times of the Day that followed. Each figure embodies the character of her season through colour and gesture; Autumn is fruitful and generous. The impression reproduced here is from the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is The Seasons: Autumn in the public domain?

Yes. Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Bibliothèque nationale de France.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was The Seasons: Autumn painted, and in what medium?

The Seasons: Autumn dates from 1896 and was made in colour lithograph; the original measures approx. 103 × 54 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
