General info on Jugendstil :

Art Nouveau began in London and is also known as "Jugendstil" in german speaking countries, Modernismo in Spain and as Stile Liberty in Italy.

The term Art Nouveau refers to a 'renewal' movement which began in Western Europe around 1880.

With this style, artists rebelled against the 'oldish' way of classic art.

It is a style in architecture, sculpture, painting and mostly ornamental, decorative, asymmetrical, exotic with symbols of sexuality, death and resurrection.


Info on Verdigris :

Verdigris is the common name for the natural patina formed when copper, brass or bronze is weathered and/or exposed to air or water over a period of time.
