Art nouveau design: a métro entrance, a poster woman and a brooch

Art nouveau — a Paris Métro entrance in green cast iron, two stalks rising into orange glass lamps shaped like flower buds, an enamelled sign panel held between whiplash curves, drawn as an Alphonse Mucha lithograph, flat pastel colour fields, firm dark contour lines, gilded ornament, a decorative halo and tile border

Art nouveau is the whiplash line of 1900, the same curve whether it lands on cast iron, a lithograph or a piece of jewellery. These nine cross a Paris Métro entrance, a poster woman with vine hair and a dragonfly brooch, each drawn as a Mucha lithograph, a Guimard ink study and a Tiffany glass panel. Type your own subject and the same three hands draw it.

  • reference for a tattoo in the whiplash line

  • a mood board for an art nouveau room

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each image is drawn in portrait format (832×1216) with an even margin — prints clean on A4 held vertically.
Can I use my own subject instead of the three shown?
Yes — that's what the direction field on the page is for. Type your own idea and the same three hands draw it in the same three styles.
Is there any lettering in the prints?
No — the nine samples are flat artwork with no text. Type "a whole alphabet" as your own direction and the pack draws the actual art nouveau letterforms instead.
Is this real historical artwork, or new images?
These are new images drawn in the spirit of Alphonse Mucha's posters, Hector Guimard's ironwork and Tiffany's leaded glass — not scans or reproductions of existing work.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
