Art Nouveau is an international style of art, architecture, and applied art, especially the decorative arts, popular between 1890 and 1910. It was a reaction against the historicism and eclecticism of 19th-century academic art and was inspired to natural shapes and fluid lines.

Art Nouveau is characterized by the use of organic shapes, such as flowers, leaves, and vines, as well as the use of curves and sinuous lines. It often features stylized flowers, leaves and other plant forms, as well as geometric shapes. The colors used in Art Nouveau are often soft and pastel, and the overall effect is often one of elegance and sophistication.

Art Nouveau was a popular style for many different types of objects, including furniture, jewelry, glassware, ceramics, and metalwork. It was also used in architecture and many Art Nouveau buildings can be found in cities around the world.
