A serene muse holds a laurelled skull in a mosaic of gold and dusk

Eugène Roux was a French lithographer and poster artist active at the turn of the 20th century, best known for his striking 1897 poster for Moullot Frères, the celebrated Marseille printing house. The design's intricate mosaic-inspired ornamentation places it firmly in the Art Nouveau tradition while its Provençal warmth distinguishes it from Parisian contemporaries. A rare and beautiful example of regional French Art Nouveau at its most accomplished.
