EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Alphonse Marie Mucha's iconic colour lithograph, "La Samaritaine" from 1897. Measuring an impressive 174x57.2 cm, this artwork is a true masterpiece that belongs to a private collection. The lithograph features the renowned actress Sarah Bernhardt in the leading role of Photina. Mucha's attention to detail and vibrant use of color bring this piece to life, capturing the essence of Bernhardt's performance on stage. In this close-up view, we see Bernhardt standing with confidence and grace. Her fair hair cascades down her shoulders as she gazes directly at the viewer. The French text surrounding her adds an air of sophistication and elegance to the composition. As one of Europe's most celebrated actresses, Bernhardt became synonymous with beauty and talent during the late nineteenth century. This art nouveau style lithograph perfectly captures her allure and charisma. Mucha's work often featured strong female figures, and "La Samaritaine" is no exception. The artist skillfully combines elements of Eastern European artistry with Western influences, creating a unique blend known as stile liberty or Jugendstil. This print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Mucha's creation while paying homage to both his artistic genius and Sarah Bernhardt's legendary performances on stage.
