ALPHONSE MUCHA (1866-1939) [L'ESTAMPE MODERNE.] SALAMBO. 1897. 16x121/8 inches. Champenois, Paris. Condition A. Paper. Salambo was the daughter of Hamilcar, the ruler of Carthage. Gustave Flaubert popularized her story in 1862. Although the story is gruesome and bloody, Mucha's image is a visual delight, bordering on the psychedelic. Salambo, who was the high priestess of Tanit, is shown amidst plumes of smoking incense. Each of these plates is a tribute to the creativity that Mucha brought to the Estampe Moderne.
