About this work

Artist: Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939)
Year: 1896
Medium: Colour lithograph
Original size: 65.7 × 48.2 cm
Collection: Mucha Trust / private collections; impressions in public collections
Movement: Art Nouveau

A woman in profile, with a jewelled diadem and a great mass of red-gold hair that curls into loops across the lower panel, is set against a halo ringed with the twelve signs of the zodiac, with laurel and sunflower motifs filling the frame. Mucha designed it in Paris in 1896 as an in-house calendar for his printer F. Champenois, and the design was quickly taken up by the art magazine La Plume, which issued it as its own calendar for 1897; it was later sold as a decorative panel without the calendar grid, as here. The profile head on a decorative disc became one of his most imitated formulas. It is among the most reproduced of all his images and survives in at least nine variants with different text and borders.

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 Zodiac 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 Mucha Trust / private collections; impressions in public collections.

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 Zodiac painted, and in what medium?

Zodiac dates from 1896 and was made in colour lithograph; the original measures 65.7 × 48.2 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.
