Historical Context Art Nouveau emerged as a reaction against the historical styles that dominated 19th-century art and design. It sought to create a new aesthetic that was free from the imitative historicism prevalent at the time. The term "Art Nouveau" was first used in Belgium and France, with significant contributions from artists and designers like Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc and William Morris, who emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and the integration of art into everyday life
