Flowers in a Vase
1909
Henri Rousseau, famous for his lush jungle scenes, turns his attention to a simpler subject here: a vibrant bouquet of flowers bursting from a tall, fluted glass vase. The arrangement is a cheerful mix of pink peonies, striped tulips, and delicate white daisies, all set against a calm, muted green background. An ivy vine casually rests on the bright orange table, adding a touch of wildness to this carefully composed still life. Even in a simple vase of flowers, Rousseau's signature naive style and bold, flat colors shine through, proving you don't need a jungle to make a statement.
