Description: | A bouquet of roses set in an oval, occupies the surface of this canvas. It is a rapidly executed harmony of red, pink and white, with dashes of green and blue. Red, pink and white flowers occupying two thirds of the lower surface are painted close up, against a recessive mass of dark green leaves in the upper part. A fragment of pale blue sky visible through leaves and flowering stems, alleviates the density of the composition. Both subject and style, marked by broken and fluid brushwork, are typical of Diaz, a leading member of the Barbizon School. | Subjects: | still life (flowers) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Diaz de la Peña, Narcisse Virgile (French painter and printmaker, 1808-1876) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8508... | Go to resource |
