DESCRIPTION
Spanish school; XIX century.
"Flowers".
Oil on canvas.
It has a slight lack in the pictorial surface and patches on the back.
Measurements: 115 x 85 cm; 114 x 95 cm (frame).
This work belongs to the genre of the floral still life, very cultivated in the European painting of the XIX century. It represents an abundant bouquet of flowers arranged in a vase on a pedestal, where different species are combined creating a composition rich in color and texture, the painting stands out for its compositional balance and the contrast between the warm tones of the flowers, red, pink and white and the dark and neutral background that enhances the volume and luminosity of the whole. The brushstroke is detailed in the petals and leaves, which reveals the artist's interest in the direct observation of nature.
This type of composition, heir to the Baroque still life tradition, had great continuity in the 19th century, when many painters took up the floral theme as an exercise in technical virtuosity and the study of light and color. In this case, the work conveys a sense of elegance and delicacy, making the floral arrangement the true protagonist of the scene.
