Chrysanthemums (Chrysanthèmes), c. 1878 by Claude Monet

Chrysanthemums, painted by Claude Monet in 1878, presents a densely packed bouquet of white, pink, and red blooms gathered in a red patterned vase and set against a pale blue-gray ground. The picture belongs to a group of floral still lifes Monet undertook at Vétheuil during a period of financial hardship, demonstrating his sustained interest in flower subjects years before the celebrated gardens of Giverny. Now held by the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the canvas is prized for its rich, textured brushwork and intimate scale.

Artist: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). Date: 1878.
