Yes, he had a unique style.
I checked out Arthur Rackham, and I like his "interpretations" of stories, movies, and Shakespearean plays. I especially liked his Alice in Wonderland, the one with the cards flying around her. The expression of fright on her face is amazing.

All-time fav would be Boris Vallejo. And of course his wife Julie Bell (since sometimes they work on the same piece and can be hard to tell who's who). I also like Luis Royo.
I do love Mucha too (one of the Dawn pix in my gallery was inspired by my fav illustration of his).
I like a lot of the old Masters but not really anyone in particular.

Yes, I also like Boris Vallejo and his wife Julie, and also some of Frank Frazetta's work. Then, of course, there's M.C. Escher, who's artwork usually has me staring at it while trying to figure out how he did it. 
There's just something about Alphonse Mucha's work that stands out for me. Not sure if it's because a good many of his illustrations were about women, and a good many of them were for commercials of products that were popular in Prague back in the day.

My favorite artists are Van G0gh, John Singer Sargent and DJ Hall. You'll clearly see all three of those artists influences in my paintings.

Boris, Julie and Frank would be high up on my list as well and would also include Fred Gambino and Jim Burns.

Pierre Bonnard is my all time favorite-he is known for never being quite done with a painting. He was known to sneak into the Louvre and add just a touch of vermillion or cobalt to one or more of his paintings. John Singer sargent for his luminous skins. Bonnard's works are best seen in person-
