Impressionist Impasto Still Life Of Flowers In A Vase Oil On Board

Stand back and enjoy the punch of colour. Very nice texture on this impasto impressionist painting of flowers in a vase from the Mid 20th century. Love the depth you can achieve with the impasto technique, it adds a charming depth to the flowers, highlighting what looks to me as a yellow rose in the forefront. Impressionism is an art movement that originated in France in the late 19th century. Impressionist painting is characterized by the use of loose brushwork, emphasis on the effects of light and color, and an interest in capturing the fleeting moments of everyday life. The Impressionists rejected the traditional academic style of painting and sought to capture the feeling of a moment in time. They often painted outdoors, en plein air, to capture the natural light and atmosphere of a scene. Some of the most famous Impressionist painters include Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, and Mary Cassatt. Monet's Water Lilies series and Renoir's Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette are among the most well-known examples of Impressionist paintings. Impressionism had a significant impact on the development of modern art and continues to be influential today. Affording a Claude Monet might be out of reach by the majority, however, owning something that takes on the impressionism art movement in its own right, is still affordable with this colourful and interesting piece of art work.
