Decorative constellations
Panels and allegories in which ornament forms almost cosmic systems of mood, pairing, and visual echo.
This grouping holds together works in which Mucha is less concerned with a single commission than with a network of moods, seasons, and ideal figures. The tall compositions gain force from sequence, pairing, and decorative continuity across multiple sheets.
