Alphonse Mucha was born on July 24th 1860. He was born in what is now The Czech Republic.
From an early age his mother knew that he would be a great artist so after he learned to crawl she would tie a pencil around his neck and he would draw as he crawled around the floor.
He was a Czech Art Nouveau artist and he lived around the world; Vienna, Austria; New York City, United States; Paris France; Prague, Czech Republic.
He married his long time love Maria and had two children.
In 1939 when the German Nazis' came into Prague he was one of the first that was arrested and questioned. The questioning that he endured broke his heatlth and 10 days after his release he died.
His art can be seen all over the World. There is a museum dedicated to Alphonse Mucha, his life and his work in Prague, Czech Republic.
