Footnotes
Art Nouveau was an influential international style of art, architecture, and applied design that emerged in the late 19th century (circa 1890–1910). Characterised by flowing, organic lines, stylised floral and plant motifs, and a sense of movement, the style sought to break away from traditional academic art and embrace modernity. Art Nouveau was particularly prominent in decorative arts, including furniture, glassware, jewellery, and clocks, and is closely associated with designers such as Hector Guimard, Émile Gallé, and Alphonse Mucha.
