The artwork titled “The Bells,” created by the distinguished artist Edmund Dulac, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) art movement and falls under the genre of illustration.
In the artwork, several humanoid figures with bird-like wings are depicted in an upward, spiraling formation, appearing almost ethereal as they ascend against a backdrop of swirling patterns and vivid colors. The intricate design showcases Dulac’s mastery in blending organic forms with decorative elements, characteristic of the Art Nouveau style. Soft hues of blue, purple, and green dominate the palette, lending a mystical ambiance to the scene. The ascending figures seem to be in a harmonious flight, drawing the viewer’s gaze upwards through the intricate, almost dream-like pattern that envelops them.
