The Power of Mythology
Art Nouveau drew heavily from mythology and ancient cultures, incorporating mythical creatures and symbols into its designs. These references to ancient myths and legends added a sense of mystery and enchantment to the movement.
One of the most commonly used mythological figures in Art Nouveau is the nymph. Nymphs were nature spirits in Greek mythology, associated with specific natural elements such as water or trees. They were often depicted as beautiful young women, embodying the harmony between humans and nature.
