Named “La Belle Époque” in contrast to the the First World War which followed, La Belle Époque is characterized by the "Joie de Vivre" and the optimism that reigned in Europe during this period. In Paris, the Moulin Rouge opened its doors, Gustave Eiffel had the Eiffel Tower built for the Universal Exhibition of 1889. "Art Nouveau" is the most popular artistic movement of the moment: it is distinguished by the use of motifs inspired by nature.

{Belle Époque Bride} The theme is inspired by women and still life paintings in the Belle Epoque period. During the period, paintings were produced to depict women in elaborate and in the trend fashion. "Women were beginning to enter educational settings, workplaces, and new societal creations like department stores en masse. Their ability to navigate these new environments and roles for women, as well as how they experienced pleasure and desire in this different context, are of keen interest to academics.
