Educa 4000: 4 Seasons (Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn)
I completed this puzzle early this afternoon. It was so much fun and turned out a lot better than I originally thought it would. The colors are a lot brighter than I thought they would be from the box. I finished the puzzle in 5 days which is a record for me for a 4000 piece puzzle. My previous best was 7 days. The puzzle was produced in 2005.
Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) was born in Czechoslovakia and was an Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist. He is best known for the "Slav Epic" which is a series of 20 paintings dedicated to explaining the heritage of his people. In 1939 when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia Mucha was arrested because of his works and while being interrogated caught pneumonia which may have contributed to his death in July 1939.
"Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewellery, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils and lighting, as well as the fine arts". It is seen as a transition from historical styles of the 19th century to Modernism.
