Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha (1860 – 1939) was a Czech painter and decorative artist born in 1860 born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia. He is best known for his luxurious poster and product designs, which encapsulate the Art Nouveau style. Contemporary interest in his work was revived in 1980 after an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. For biographical notes on Mucha see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 - 8 also.

Alphonse (Alfons) Mucha (1860 – 1939) was a Czech painter and decorative artist born in 1860 born in the town of Ivančice, Moravia. He is best known for his luxurious poster and product designs, which encapsulate the Art Nouveau style. Contemporary interest in his work was revived in 1980 after an exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. For biographical notes on Mucha see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 - 9 also. This is part 10 of a 12-part series on the works of Alphonse Mucha: The Slave Epic After spending many years in Paris and America, Mucha returned to Prague in 1910 with the Slav Epic project as his driving ambition. He had arranged funding from the American, Charles Crane, and the work occupied the years 1912 to 1928. The first eleven canvases were displayed in Prague's Klementium in 1919 to great public interest and acclaim. Critical opinion though was hostile, being out of sympathy with what was seen as its dated nationalism and academic style. Various canvases from from the sequence were displayed in both Czechoslovakia and America over the next twenty years producing a similarly ambivalent reaction. Mucha gifted the Slav Epic to the city of Prague in 1928; ironically, the poster he created to mark the occasion is perhaps more famous than the work itself. 1928 The Slav Epic poster The city However, was unwilling to provide a permanent exhibition space for the work and, after a temporary showing in 1835, the canvases were rolled up and plaved in storage, Ehen Mucha died in 1939, his spirit had been broken by what he saw as the failure of his life's great work. Not surprisingly, the post-war Communist government had little interest in restoring the series to public display and it was to remain out of view for many years. In 1950, 11 years after Mucha's death, the epic was transferred to Moravsky Krumlov, near his hometown of Ivancice. Then, in 1963, after nearly 30 years out of sight, the first nine paintings in the series were exhibited and finally, in 1967, the entire Slovanska Epopej returned to public exhibition. 1912 Bulgarian Tsar Simeon -

Denominations were of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000 korun. Regular banknotes were issued by the Republic of Czechoslovakia between 1919 and 1926, in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 korun. The Czechoslovak National Bank took over production in 1926, issuing notes for 10, 20, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 korun. The new designs were made by Mucha. The urgency of the task led him to reuse a previous portrait of Josephine Crane Bradley as Slavia for the 100 koruna bill. 10 Korun banknote 50 Korun banknote reverse 50 Korun banknote reverse photographic study © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 50 Korun banknote 100 Korun banknote 500 Korun banknote reverse 500 Korun banknote Study for 50 Korun banknote design © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 1920 Cover of childrens book 'Andělíček z Baroku' © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 1920 Croatian Woman with Apples oil on canvas 76.4 x 67 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 1920 Fate oil on canvas 51.5 x 53.5 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 1920 Girl with Loose Hair and Tulips oil on canvas 76.8 x 66.9 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris 1920 The Artist oil on canvas 54.6 x 57.2 cm © Alphonse Mucha Estate/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York/ADAGP, Paris
