Valentine de Saint-Point (1875–1953), a French writer, poet, playwright, and artist associated with Futurism and Symbolism, was indeed photographed by Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939), the renowned Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist. Mucha is best known for his stylized and romantic illustrations of women, particularly in posters and advertisements during the Belle Époque.
These portraits Mucha took of Saint-Point in the 1900s were not typical glamour shots but rather artistic compositions, emphasizing her intense gaze, sculptural profile, and theatrical style. They often reflect the same aesthetic Mucha used in his posters — graceful, powerful, and idealized.
Mucha photographed several prominent women of the time — including actresses, muses, and aristocrats — to serve as models or reference material for his lithographs and paintings. Valentine de Saint-Point was not only a model but a muse and collaborator in artistic and philosophical conversations.
