Description

This piece is a tribute to a female artist who influenced the Art Nouveau movement: Élisabeth Sonrel. Élisabeth's work is iconic for the Art Nouveau style. Born in France, she trained in art from an early age as the daughter of an artist. Her work in posters and decorative panels was sponsored by the same printer as Alphonse Mucha and both featured idyllic scenes of beautiful women framed by delicate, ornate botanicals. Later, influenced by Sandro Botticelli, Élisabeth would combine Art Nouveau and Pre-Raphaelite styles in her work that remains distinctive among her contemporaries. 🔹🔷🔹 🔹🔷🔹 🔹🔷🔹 🔹🔷🔹 🔹🔷🔹 This piece is a 1/1 edition carefully created by Maneki Neko. It began as a text-to-image collaboration with an AI (DALLE-2) to create an "init image". Heavily edited in Photoshop and collaged with other images to intentionally add or smooth details in specific areas, this image was used to initialize generations in another AI (DiscoDiffusion) model. After more than 100 iterations in DiscoDiffusion over 3 days of experimentation with different combinations of prompts and settings and more refined edits to the init image in Photoshop, a final candidate that reflected the desired Art Nouveau stained-glass style was rendered. The piece was then finished with color and fine detail editing in Photoshop.
