[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9581183, member: 2844"]They were the same era, but different countries and different designs. Jugendstil in Germany, Secessionist in Vienna and to some extent in Prague. Both Vienna and Prague were in the Habsburg empire at the time. Art Nouveau was 'new art', a philosophy that moved away from the conventions of the established art world. It was expressed differently in different regions. Jugendstil was named after a 'new art' magazine called "Die Jugend". The linear side of Jugendstil was the most 'stark' of Art Nouveau styles. This tray is an example. Jugendstil also had a French/Belgian inspired style, which is Art Nouveau as the general public knows it, with whiplash motifs and flourishes. Secessionist was the 'city style' of Austrian and Bohemian Art Nouveau. It had the most artistic freedom of the Art Nouveau styles, which means that you can come across many different personal expressions of the Art Nouveau philosophy. To complicate things, the term Jugendstil was also used in the Netherlands (along with local terms) and in Austria outside Vienna. The styles associated with Dutch and Austrian Jugendstil were different from German Jugendstil. I won't go into that now.:playful:[/QUOTE]
