To some followers of Mucha, these images won't be new. But to others, it could be an informative comparative look at Mucha's reference photos and the resulting works.

Thanks so much Thomas. Of course the photographs are lovely but you can really see how he transfuses them with magic. And of course like all magic, only the magician know how it is done.
Hi Thom, Thank you for doing the work to match these. I've become interested in the models for many artists, especially the Pre-Raphaelites, and other artists who repeatedly used their loved ones- wives and children, as models.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.

Great post!

In first he takes face as the measure for the grid; in third - head's height is the measure. But what was the principle in the last photo?
To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a grid is just a grid.
Far out! Thank you!
