Sarah Bernhardt Le Samaritaine Art Nouveau Mucha Poster

This stunning vertical poster captures Sarah Bernhardt on the famous Le Samaritaine, created by Alphonse Mucha in 1897 to promote the play La Samaritaine. Sarah Bernhardt was a French actress and one of Mucha's most famous muses, and the two formed a close artistic partnership that lasted for many years. In La Samaritaine, Bernhardt played the lead role of Photina, a girl from Samaria who encounters Christ at a well and becomes a Christian. Mucha's poster alludes to the Biblical sources of the play, with Hebrew text appearing in the mosaic halo behind Bernhardt's head and in the panel supporting the water jar. This vertical poster is a perfect addition to any art lover's collection and a must-have for Alphonse Mucha and Sarah Bernhardt fans.
