“Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread” is one plate from Le Pater, Alphonse Mucha’s deeply personal illustrated edition of the Lord’s Prayer created at the end of the 19th century. Unlike his better-known commercial posters, this work reflects Mucha’s spiritual and philosophical interests, blending mystical symbolism with Art Nouveau design. He conceived Le Pater as a visual meditation on each verse of the prayer, using floral borders, calligraphic text, and allegorical imagery to express ideas about sustenance, faith, and human aspiration. Mucha saw this project as a serious artistic statement and placed it above his commercial work, aiming to communicate a message of light and spiritual progress at the close of the century.
- Title Le Pater — "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" (Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien) — illustration for the fourth petition of the Lord's Prayer in the illustrated book Le Pater
- Artist Alphonse Mucha (Alfons Maria Mucha; Czech Art Nouveau painter, illustrator and graphic artist; Ivančice, Moravia, 24 July 1860 - Prague, 14 July 1939)
- Year of creation 1899 (Le Pater — Mucha's illustrated meditation on the Lord's Prayer — was struck by F. Champenois in Paris on 20 December 1899 in an edition of 510 copies, published by Henri Piazza, with the express agreement that the plates would never be reprinted. Mucha considered Le Pater alongside The Slav Epic his great masterworks; he told The Sun newspaper of New York on 5 January 1900 that this was the work into which he "had put his soul." Unlike his famous commercial posters, Le Pater was a deeply personal artistic and spiritual statement, written and designed by Mucha himself as a visual meditation on each of the seven verses of the Pater Noster. Each verse is illustrated by a set of three plates: a calligraphic prayer plate with decorative border, a Byzantine-style symbolic mandala, and a monochrome reproduction of a Symbolist painting. The book reflects Mucha's interests at the close of the nineteenth century — Art Nouveau's reverence for nature, fin-de-siècle Mysticism, and the iconography of religion — and his deep engagement with Masonic teachings, with which the imagery shares a coded symbolic language. He combined the aesthetics of Medieval illuminated manuscripts with Moorish arabesques, Byzantine mandalas, and Classical Renaissance composition. "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" / "Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain quotidien" — the fourth petition — is signed in the plate)
- Technique/Medium Stone lithograph on paper, published as a folio illustrated book; the design is reproduced both as a monochrome sepia plate and, for the "illuminated manuscript" calligraphic version, with colour-lithograph border. Some impressions of certain plates also exist as hand-coloured pochoir
- Original dimensions Sheet approximately 40 x 30 cm (some plates approximately 41.5 x 31 cm or 11 7/8 x 15 1/2 inches; the dimensions vary slightly across the different plate types within the book)
- Collection/Museum Multiple impressions held in major museum collections and private hands; complete sets of Le Pater are held in institutions including the Mucha Museum, Prague; the Mucha Trust Collection; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris; and others. The original 1899 sketches and drawings for the cycle are largely held by the Mucha Trust

Einfach beeindruckend! Die Qualität dieser Kunstreproduktion ist wirklich außergewöhnlich und hat meine Erwartungen weit übertroffen. Die beeindruckende Detailtreue, die wunderschönen Farben und die hochwertige Ausführung lassen den Kunstdruck wie ein echtes Ausstellungsstück aus einer Kunstgalerie wirken. Ein absolut faszinierendes Ergebnis, das diesem Meisterwerk wirklich gerecht wird! Auch die Lieferung war sensationell schnell und das Kunstwerk hervorragend und sicher verpackt. Hier stimmt einfach alles! Ich bin rundum begeistert und kann es nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Jederzeit sehr gerne wieder! Ich kann es kaum erwarten, eines Tages auch das Original dieses Masterpieces in einem Pariser Museum mit eigenen Augen zu bewundern. Vielen herzlichen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Kunstwerk!
I am extremely happy with the quality of image/paper is excellent! Thank you for resolving my first time experience. I look forward to my next purchase!
Love the size and quality
Selected the art-canvas and turned out perfect, beautifully made.
Great shipping and the print looks fantastic
Excellrnt
There was a bit of a wait for the pictures but it was worth it. The production quality of the print was far higher than purchases I have made from other vendors. It's sturdier, clearer & the price was fair. The piece itself is in my basement. As you come down the steps it hangs on the opposite wall. Despite ordering a smaller print it commands the most attention in the room. I absolutely love this piece.
Wanderer above the Sea of Fog | Caspar David Friedrich | 1818
This is the first painting I buy from your site and from any site at all in fact, and except a minor delivery issue - that only implied FedEx - everything went smoothly ! Your team responded quickly concerning this issue and that add up to the quality of service ! The reproduction is beautifully done, the contrast are good and the colors are vibrant. I am really happy with this product and will definitely crave for more !
Wonderful quality, arrived very quickly (From Estonia to Canada), but most of all I am grateful for your YouTube videos to learn the background of this fascinating painting origin.
The Devil's Checkmate | Friedrich August Moritz Retzsch | 1831

Allegory of Satan (Lord of the World) | Ludwik Stasiak | c. 1900
Great buy, awesome quality print.
Love it
Very fast delivery! Good quality print!
This was a birthday gift for my partner, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience.
I have the other Daniel painting also, the one where he is entering the lion's den. My daughter liked it so much, that I lent it to her, not sure I'd ever get it back so ordered this one. Keep it in the blue bedroom we use for visitors, always sparks a conversion. Just love it !
Beautifull colors and print. But in mine a fold ,very disturbing,also because the print and the list etc are very well done
Fabula Luctantis
Well. This Image is more jpeg like than i would prefer. I never seen the original in the louvre, but I think it could be better. Especially for 300 euros.
Very happy with product.
I simply love the portrait of the three black cats! - flawless print, elegant frame and quick shipping with sufficient packaging. I will be coming back for more! Thank you! <3
The print was very high quality. Heavy paper, deep colors. Exactly what I had hoped for.
Excellent quality! Very impressed! Hangs next to my desk as I work. Inspiring! Saw the original at the Vatican Museum. I will be buying more.
Fantastic detail and colour reproduction. This is my 9th painting from Inspiragio with 4 to go. Fabulous
Amazing
