“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.
