EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Art Nouveau design print features the Latin proverb "Ex Ungue Leonem" (We know the lion by his claw) and dates back to the 1920s. The intricate graphic style, characterized by its organic plant and floral motifs in shades of green, black, and yellow, is a true reflection of the Art Nouveau movement that was popular during this era.
The inclusion of the powerful lion motif alongside the wise proverb adds depth and meaning to this visually striking piece. The message behind "Ex Ungue Leonem" speaks to the idea of recognizing someone or something by their defining characteristics or actions - a concept that remains relevant even today.
As we admire this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to an age where craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued. The meticulous detailing in every petal and leaf showcases the skillful handiwork of artists from decades past.
Whether displayed as a standalone piece or incorporated into a gallery wall arrangement, this Art Nouveau design print is sure to make a statement in any space. Its timeless beauty serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and continues to inspire admiration for generations to come.
