Art Nouveau Jewelry - La Dame d'Aujac by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)

Ivory sculptured face, conch shell, gold, amber, amethyst, topaz and rubies. A Creative Art Nouveau Jewelry Necklace with a Baroque Steam Punk mood.

In the realm of jewellery, the Art Nouveau period (1890 to 1910), Which coexisted with the Victorian era and the Edwardian era, saw designers innovate crafting techniques and experiment with new materials.

Art Nouveau jewellery was ornate, reflecting the unrestrained beauty of the natural world, and did not rely on the preciousness of its components.

During this brief period, five jewelry designers (All Men) stood out amongst the rest for their masterful work : René Lalique (1860-1945), Henri Vever (1854 -1942), Georges Fouquet (1862-1957), Louis Comfort Tiffany (American) (1848 -1933), Lucien Gaillard (1861-1942), Joë Descomps (1872–1948), Karl Rothmüller (German) (1860–1930) etc

But also Women :

Charlotte Newman, also known as Mrs. Philip Newman (English) (1840–1927), was the first English woman to be recognized as a jeweler in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Her success in the traditionally male-dominated profession inspired many more women in the Arts and Crafts movement to become jewelers.

Elinor Evans Klapp (American) (1845-1915) the wife of a successful dry goods merchant, took up jewelry design in her early forties.

She soon made up for lost time by launching herself as one of the largest exhibitors in Chicago’s Arts and Crafts shows, and by sending forty pieces to the Paris Exhibition of 1900.

These series are a tribute to the women creators, artists who were so often forgotten during the Art Nouveau movement in an art world at the time dominated by men, like Elinor Evans Klapp, Charlotte Newman, Elisabeth Sonrel and others ...

The Mystery Of Jeanne Orianne De Levallois (1872 - 1951) A French Woman Jewelry Creator.

In this sense, I present to you for the first time Jeanne Orianne De Levallois (1872 - 1951) (*) Born in Rocamadour, a half-sister of Élisabeth Sonrel, whose existence was always kept secret by her paternal family.

It is not known to what extent her father Nicolas Stéphane Sonrel, a painter from Tours, partially influenced her drawing and painting skills, but unlike Élisabeth, her sister never showed her works, especially her series of jewelry that she designed in secret, signing with the name Jeanne Orianne De Levallois so as not to arouse any suspicion.

According to legend, Orianne, towards the end of her life, had moments of absence and lack of memory, it is believed that on one of these occasions she got lost in the Grotte des Merveilles and despite all efforts, it was never found until today.

Her notebook of drawings and sketches was only found recently, during a routine exploration of the Grotte des Merveilles.

In a recess of the cave was what appeared to be a thick notebook wrapped in furs and silks. In it were some of the most beautiful jewels ever created by any French jeweler.

It is these drawings that I present to you today in these series in a recreation created with the help of Artificial Intelligence and digital art. Hope you like it ! : )

Hi I want to ask you for some advice. I'm graduating soon and I want to get myself a tattoo as a congrats gift. Can you recommend me a painting/art motif that would look good as a tattoo? Or more if you will! I was thinking about getting the tree dancing ladies from Botticelli's primavera. Does anything come to your mind?Thanks!

Hi! I'd love to help you, but I have to start with the fact that I don't have any tattoos myself, mostly because I'm so indecisive and can't commit. Maybe one day, but not in the nearest future! That being said, I think I know the perfect art style that works for tattoos. In my opinion it's paintings from the style Art Nouveau and by the artist Alfons Mucha, among many others. I used to be obsessed with dainty and detailed little paintings on tattoos, but I learned that they can smudge and blur together a lot with time and lose their details. Art Nouveau however is defined by strong dark outlines and significant contrast, so they won't lose their shape as easily. Apart from that, you can get almost any art nouveau artwork as a tattoo, they work great both in black & white and in color, and you can even get an artist to design a thing you love from popculture and other sources to be in this style and look like Mucha's painting. If you're looking for something more unique than Mucha, I recommend the artist Elisabeth Sonrel, equally talented but not as known!

Winter by Elisabeth Sonrel

[ashmoleanmuseum]

"Fully signed and dated by Sonrel in 1897, the watercolour portrays two women set against a golden background. They are perhaps a mother and her daughter, and are shown in prayer. While the older woman is focused on her prayer book and holding a branch, the younger woman appears to be lost in her thoughts."⁠ ⁠ Read more about our latest acquisition, a watercolour painting by French artist Élisabeth Sonrel (1874–1953) called 'Les Rameaux', in this blog by curator An Van Camp.⁠

Art Nouveau Jewelry - Jeanne Orianne De Levallois (1872 - 1951) In a Tribute To Élisabeth Sonrel (1874-1953) And Other Women Art Nouveau Artists And Creators by Daniel Arrhakis (2023)

Art Nouveau ('New Art') is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, especially the decorative arts. It was often inspired by natural forms such as the sinuous curves of plants and flowers. Art Nouveau artists drew inspiration from natural elements, such as flowers or insects. Curves, asymmetrical forms, and intense colors were other common motifs of the movement.

The Art Nouveau aesthetic also appeared in various media, including decorative art, paintings, architecture, Jewelry, and even advertisements.

One major objective of Art Nouveau was to break down the traditional distinction between fine arts (especially painting and sculpture) and applied arts. It was most widely used in interior design, graphic arts, furniture, glass art, textiles, ceramics, jewelry and metal work.

It was popular between 1890 and 1910 during the Belle Époque period, and was a reaction against the academicism, eclecticism and historicism of 19th century architecture and decorative art.

Another important influence on the new style was Japonism. This was a wave of enthusiasm for Japanese woodblock printing, particularly the works of Hiroshige, Hokusai, and Utagawa Kunisada, which were imported into Europe beginning in the 1870s.

Some of the artists who defined de movement are : Gustav Klimt (1862 - 1918), Alphonse Mucha (1860 - 1939), Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901), Egon Schiele (1890-1918), Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926), Victor Horta ( 1861-1947), Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), Émile Gallé (1846-1904), René Lalique ( 1860 - 1945) Louis Majorelle (1859-1926), Etc...

But during this period there were also great female artists who often ended up forgotten in the Art Nouveau Movement, such as Elisabeth Sonrel, Julie de Graag, Sisters Margaret and Frances Macdonald, Gerda Wegener, Charlotte Newman, Elinor Evans Klapp, and many others.

Elisabeth Sonrel (1874 – 1953 ) was a French painter and illustrator in the Art Nouveau style. Her works included allegorical subjects, mysticism, symbolism, portraits, and landscapes.
