EDITORS COMMENTS
Nemo Ante Mortem Beatus: A Captivating Journey into the World of Art Nouveau and the Timeless Wisdom of Ovid's Quotation This exquisite Art Nouveau design, titled "Nemo Ante Mortem Beatus," transports us back to the early 1920s, a time when the organic and fluid lines of this distinctive artistic style were at their height. The Latin motto inscribed at the heart of the composition, "Nimitur in Vetitum," or "We Strive for the Forbidden," adds an intriguing layer of depth to the visual feast before us. The design is a harmonious blend of blue, black, and yellow hues, with delicate, flowing lines that evoke the natural world. The central image is a heart-shaped composition, adorned with intricate, intertwining floral motifs. The organic forms of the flowers and plants are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, their petals unfurling in a dance of life and growth. The Latin quotation, attributed to the Roman poet Ovid, serves as a poignant reminder of the human condition. "Excess is Forbidden," the motto warns, urging us to strive for balance and moderation in all things. This message resonates with the very essence of Art Nouveau, an artistic movement that embraced the natural world and sought to capture its beauty and vitality in art. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a bygone era, where the organic forms of nature and the timeless wisdom of ancient proverbs came together to inspire a generation of artists and designers. The intricate details, the flowing lines, and the thought-provoking quotation all combine to create a visual masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
