| "Our Father, who art in Heaven" Excerpt from Le Pater, by Alphonse Mucha via Art Nouveau |
Alphonse Mucha is known for his advertisements featuring alluring Art Nouveau women, but he also created a beautiful book illustrating the Lord's Prayer (Le Pater). I happened to be visiting Prague when there was an exhibition on his work.
For each phrase of the prayer, Mucha created a symbolic design, an illustrated scene, and a meditation on the meaning of the phrase.

I love how personal and how thoughtful this work is! You can see the book in its entirety here.
