The term ‘Art Nouveau’ (literally ‘New Art’) was first used in 1884 in Belgium but the movement was known by many different names in different countries: Jugendstil in Germany, Viennese Secession in Austria, Glasgow Style in Scotland, Arte Nuova or Stile Liberty in Italy, and Belle Époque in France.
