Eiffel Tower in spring.

The Eiffel Tower is an iconic iron structure in Paris, France. It is one of the world's most famous landmarks. The tower was built for the 1889 World's Fair and is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. At 324 metres tall, the Eiffel Tower was the tallest structure in the world when completed. It is now a symbol of Paris and a popular tourist attraction, where visitors can go to the top for panoramic views of the city.

Art Nouveau, also known as Art Nouveau in Germany, Secession style in Austria, and Modernism in Spain, was an art movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It emerged as a reaction to the prevailing art and design aesthetics of the time and sought innovation and change in art and architecture.

Art Nouveau was characterised by organic forms, asymmetry and ornamental details inspired by nature. The movement influenced several art disciplines, including architecture, painting, sculpture, graphic design and applied art. Art Nouveau influences can be seen in buildings, furniture, jewellery, posters and other decorative arts.

The Eiffel Tower, for example, has influences from the Art Nouveau style, especially in the iron whimsical ornaments that adorn the tower. Art Nouveau influenced all of Europe and was associated with innovation, individualism and a break with the historical styles of the 19th century.
