A student of Alfons Mucha, Jane Atché studied at the Académie Julian in Paris and presented this symbolist Rêverie medallion, inspired by Byzantine art.

Jane Atché, "Mucha's Camille Claudel".

Born into a middle-class family with a strong interest in the arts, young Jane took advantage of her parents' connections to make her way among the great painters.

From 1893, Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin-Constant, emblematic figures of the Toulouse School, became her first teachers at the Académie Julian in Paris. She took from the former his hyperrealist technique and from the latter her art of portraiture and printmaking.
The latter, aware of her affinity for large-format lithography, entrusted her two years later to Alfons Mucha, the spearhead of the Art Nouveau style, noted for his poster for Gismonda, a play starring Sarah Bernhardt.

Mucha's Camille Claudel, as Claudine Dhotel-Velliet likes to recall with a smile, collaborated with other students on the 134 lithographs of Ilsée, Princess of Tripoli. In symbiosis, the two artists respond to each other's work, as shown by Mucha's Byzantine Heads, contemporaries of Atché's medallions Rêverie and Méditation.
