About this work

Artist: Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939)
Year: 1898
Medium: Colour lithograph
Collection: Mucha Trust / private collections; impressions in public collections
Movement: Art Nouveau
Series: The Flowers

A fair-haired woman in a translucent gown stands with closed eyes among tall mauve irises, their sword-shaped leaves rising behind her the full height of the panel. Mucha designed the series The Flowers in Paris in 1898, and F. Champenois printed the four panels, Rose, Iris, Carnation and Lily, as colour lithographs intended to be framed and hung in the home rather than pasted on a wall. The iris, with its cool colour and languid form, is given the most dreamlike figure of the four. The panels show Mucha at his most naturalistic, with the flowers drawn carefully from life and only a thin decorative border. The set was a commercial success and was reissued in a reduced format with all four figures on one sheet. It is among the most reproduced of all Art Nouveau images.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is The Flowers: Iris 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 The Flowers: Iris painted, and in what medium?

The Flowers: Iris dates from 1898 and was made in colour lithograph.

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.
