Maude Adams (1872–1953) as Joan of Arc (painting (visual work); Alphonse Mucha (Czech, Ivančice 1860–1939; 1909; Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York City, New York state, U...; 20.33; ) | |
Note: Mucha painted this portrait of Maude Adams as Joan of Arc to promote a one-night gala performance of Friedrich Schiller’s The Maid of Orleans at Harvard University Stadium on June 22, 1909; he also designed the production’s costumes and sets and supervised the direction. The sitter’s stylized gestures, the elaborate floral patterns, and the undulating lines are characteristic of Mucha’s flamboyant style. He devised the complementary frame. | |
