Description: | This bouquet of wild summer flowers shows the bright primary colours of poppies, cornflowers, buttercups, daisies and campions, painted against a dark background. It has been attributed to Guérard, but the colours are stronger and the brushwork is more solid than his other known works. The collection's original records describe the work as signed by 'Fauveles', possibly a reference to the French artist Jean Baptiste Fauvelet (1819-1883). Comparisons with other paintings by Fauvelet, however, also cast doubt on this attribution. On close examination of the work no signature could be found. | Subjects: | still life (flowers) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Guérard, Henri Charles (French painter and printmaker, 1846-1897) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Fauvelet, Jean Baptiste (French painter, 1819-1883) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8973... | Go to resource |
