The Art Nouveau ("New Art") is an artistic and philosophical movement that was born in France between the end of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century and spread throughout Europe with different names in different countries: in Spain the modernism, in Italy the liberty, in Austria the Sezessionstil, in Germany the Jugendstil. From a visual point of view, the works of Art Nouveau (paintings, statues, architecture) are characterized by a pronounced decorative elegance and soft, sinuous lines that meet and intertwine harmoniously; Art Nouveau was born as a reaction to the industrial production of mass-produced objects made possible by the automation processes of the late nineteenth century.

- Ruchot Jean Charles French Sculptor Art Noveau Statue of "Science" in SpelterBy Jean Charles RuchotLocated in Prato, TuscanyWe kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Particular and elegant statue in spelter with marble base; the sculpture represents a young woman in a beautiful plastic and slender pose that holds in the left hand a laurel wreath and in the right hand a sheet of paper with an inscription, probably of scientific formula, in fact, the statue is the interpretation of "Science".
