Élisabeth Sonrel (1874–1953) was a talented French painter and illustrator best known for her elegant Art Nouveau works. Born in Tours and trained initially by her father, she later studied under Jules Lefebvre in Paris. Her distinctive style blended Pre-Raphaelite beauty with Symbolist and mystical elements, often featuring idealized women with flowing hair, delicate features, and ethereal expressions.
Deeply influenced by the Renaissance masters, particularly Botticelli, after a trip to Italy, Sonrel created large, luminous watercolors filled with allegorical, mythological, and romantic themes. Though she also produced portraits and landscapes, her dreamlike portraits of graceful young women remain her most iconic contribution to the Art Nouveau movement.
Enjoy this beautiful collection of Élisabeth Sonrel’s works, where delicate watercolor, luminous color, and ethereal grace come together to define one of the most enchanting voices of the Art Nouveau movement.
