"The Love of the Past" (1903-04, revised in 1920) is the finale of the paintings of the representative Czech artist Alphonse Mucha (1860-1939) during his Paris period. This huge painting, more than two meters long and wide, depicts a scene from the novel: a girl kissing a marble statue in an ancient Roman villa. The figure peeking from behind the statue does not appear in the original novel. Many questions, such as the background of the work and the reason for choosing this scene, remain a mystery. This exhibition will reveal the full picture of "The Love of the Past", which was lost for a long time and was not discovered until 1979. It will also trace Mucha's creative process through his representative prints, illustrations, sketches, oil paintings, jewelry and other works, and fully introduce the charm of Mucha's world-class collection, which the museum is proud of. In addition, a tapestry woven in a near-life-size manner using the hand-woven carpet weaving technique "Sakai Dan-dori" passed down in Sakai City will also be exhibited for the first time. The painting was originally planned to be created in the United States in 1910 as an original for the carpet, which would open a new chapter in the history of the painting.
