The artwork titled “Geraniums and other Flowers in a Stoneware Vase” is the creation of Odilon Redon, a piece rendered in oil on canvas. It reflects the Realist art movement and measures 55.5 by 46 centimeters. Classified under the genre of flower painting, this work presently resides within a private collection.
The artwork presents a composition centered on a robust bouquet of flowers, featuring geraniums among other varieties, contained within a stoneware vase. The vase itself is portrayed with intricate blue patterns, standing out against the warm, muted background that subtly highlights the vivid colors of the blossoms. Redon’s brushwork manifests a blend of detail and softness, conveying the natural beauty of the floral arrangement. While the work is tied to Realism in its faithful depiction of the subject, there is also an evident personal touch in the color selection and handling of light that imbues the painting with a unique sense of life and emotion.
