Mucha Jour, also known as Brightness of Day, is a jacquard wall tapestry made in Belgium. It portrays the mid-day personified; the artwork of pioneering Czechoslovakian artist Alphonse Mucha, this is part of his Hours of the Day series from 1899. In this tapestry we see the woman, fully awake, at daytime, surrounded by flowers as she is suspended in the air.
