Vase of Roses
c. 1890-1900
Bursting with vibrant pinks and warm reds, this lush bouquet of roses spills out of a cool blue-green vase, showcasing Renoir's signature Impressionist flair. Painted around 1890, the loose, feathery brushstrokes make the flowers look like they are practically vibrating with life against a shimmering, golden-brown background. Renoir absolutely adored painting flowers, famously claiming they were the only subjects that didn't move, giving him a rare moment of peace to capture their fleeting, delicate beauty before they wilted.
