The art nouveau style expressed in L’Automne by Alphonse Maria Mucha has a clear influence on many of the designs used on present-day tarot and oracle cards. His signature style includes the long narrow shape, pastel colours and the halo around the subjects. This type of illustration has inspired many artists since the late 1800s.
