Bénédictine de l'Abbaye de Fécamp, Mucha, 1898

Two women in blue present the bottle like an altarpiece.

What

Alphonse Mucha's poster for Bénédictine, printed by F. Champenois, 66 boulevard Saint-Michel, Paris, in 1898; the BnF sheet measures 210 by 77 cm.

Why

Mucha built the bottle into an arch of Art Nouveau ornament, with a view of Fécamp at the foot.

Notice

The two women hold flowers and a scroll, and their robes are printed in soft blues and greys around the gold bottle.

“A sheet nearly three times as high as it is wide.”
