"Byzantine Heads" by Alphonse Mucha is his very famous painting. Mucha regarded Byzantine civilization as the spiritual home of Slavic culture. In his style he incorporated a variety of decorative motifs inspired by Byzantine art, such as mosaic works, icons, sumptuous costumes and accessories.The pendants that form part of this tiara herald Mucha's later jewellery designs. A similar design can be seen in Mucha's Zodiac panel of the previous year.It was on the basis of these highly detailed designs that Parisian jeweller Georges Fouquet decided to enlist the help of Mucha for his collection for the 1900 Exposition Universelle.
