La bellesa (Beauty) is a very characteristic example of the deliquescence of the sweet, mild and somewhat morbid forms of Art Nouveau. The blurry face confers a halo of mystery on the figure. Josep Llimona (1864-1934), one of the best Catalan sculptors, perfectly encapsulated the entire Art Nouveau movement from its inception under the influence of realism until the advent of the new Noucentiste trends.
