Description: | Signed: yes Description: Diaz was a leading artist of the Barbizon School and an inspiration to younger French painters, who often admired his brilliant palette. The flowers are rendered with vivid colours which are intensified against the dark background, and the painted surface has a thick texture, created by the artist's liberal use of impasto. Although some of his very earliest works are studies of flowers and other still-life subjects, it has been suggested that Diaz's flower paintings were calculated to appeal to popular taste. | 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=8882... | Go to resource |
