On January 1st, 1895, a theatrical poster reshaped the art world—and launched the career of Alphonse Mucha.

Commissioned with only six days’ notice, Mucha’s design for Sarah Bernhardt’s role in Gismonda broke every convention. Stylized linework, large-scale lithography, and deliberate negative space created a visual language that Paris had never seen before.

Mucha didn’t just design posters—he gave rise to Art Nouveau and helped define modern fame.

For collectors, these aren’t advertisements. They’re foundational works in the history of graphic art.
