About This Print
The Quintessence of Art Nouveau Advertising
Step back into the glamorous world of the Belle Époque with this stunning reproduction of Privat Livemont’s masterwork, ‘Absinthe Robette.’ Created in 1895, this piece stands as a seminal example of Belgian Art Nouveau, rivaling the famous works of Alphonse Mucha in its elegance and flowing aesthetic. Livemont masterfully captures the intoxicating allure of absinthe—the legendary ‘Green Fairy’—through the figure of a captivating muse who embodies the spirit’s mystique.
A Masterpiece of Style and Color
The poster features a dynamic composition dominated by striking shades of emerald and ethereal white mist, symbolizing the ‘louche’ effect when water is added to the potent spirit. The central figure, with her vibrant, flowing red and gold hair and diaphanous white drapery, raises a tall glass of the liquor in an ecstatic gesture. This piece is not merely an advertisement; it is a celebration of the era’s fascination with artistic freedom and decadent consumption. The rich, curving lines and stylized foliage elements are hallmarks of Livemont’s iconic design.

After It Arrives
How to Frame & Display Your Print
Four simple steps, tube to wall — no tools, no specialist knowledge.
-
Unroll & Let It Relax
Remove from the tube and lay face-down on a clean flat surface for 20–30 minutes. The 200 GSM matte stock self-relaxes — any shipping curl releases without heat or moisture.
-
Pick a Standard Frame
Every size matches a standard off-the-shelf frame — IKEA HOVSTA, Target Threshold, Amazon Basics. An 18×24" drops in directly. No trimming, no custom framing.
-
Glass Is Optional
Our matte finish eliminates glare, so hanging without glass often shows more detail — particularly deep blacks and shadow gradients. If you prefer glass, use UV-protective acrylic.
-
Avoid Direct UV Sunlight
Archival pigment inks are rated for 75+ years indoors. Choose a wall with indirect or diffused natural light for the longest possible display life.
