Ver Sacrum

Ver Sacrum, meaning "Sacred Spring" in Latin, was an artistic movement in Europe, particularly prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originating in Austria, it aimed to rejuvenate art and design by embracing nature-inspired themes and innovative forms. Artists associated with Ver Sacrum sought to break away from traditional aesthetics, emphasizing creativity and individuality. The movement extended beyond visual arts to architecture, crafts, and applied arts, fostering a collaborative spirit that integrated various disciplines, ultimately influencing the broader art nouveau movement across Europe and inspiring modern artistic expressions.
