Alphonse Mucha was a Czech artist who is known for his distinctive Art Nouveau style. Mucha's art style is characterized by its flowing, organic lines, intricate patterns, and harmonious color palettes. His work often features beautiful, idealized women in dreamy, otherworldly settings.

Mucha's art is heavily influenced by the natural world, particularly the flora and fauna of his native Czech Republic. He also drew inspiration from traditional Slavic folklore and mythology, as well as from Japanese art and design.

One of Mucha's most famous works is the series of decorative panels he created for the actress Sarah Bernhardt, which feature intricate floral designs and beautiful, ethereal depictions of Bernhardt in various roles. Mucha's art became incredibly popular during his lifetime and is still widely admired today for its beauty and elegance.

Overall, Mucha's art style is recognized for its romanticism, ornamental quality, and its incorporation of nature and mythology into decorative designs.

Zodiac was Mucha's first work under his contract with the printer Champenois and was originally designed as an in-house calendar for the company.
