Rêverie / Méditation. 1897.
Created the same year as Mucha's more famous Têtes Byzantines, Atché's similar diptych Rêverie & Méditation may actually be superior to the Czech master's work. These two feminine profiles appear to be designed with the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic in mind, rather than the Byzantine; Atché employs a greater sense of the English medieval, and a greater concentration on foliage as organic form rather than as aesthetic embellishment. Their presence is absolutely radiant. (2)
Size: Each: 18 1/2 x 19 3/8 in./47 x 49.2 cm
Condition: A. Framed.
Reference: Atché, p. 48 & 49; PAI-LXXX, 223B
Key Words: Art Nouveau
