Flower Wreaths, c. 1880 by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

Flower Wreaths, painted by Pierre-Auguste Renoir around 1880, presents a lush arrangement of garden roses and chrysanthemums in white, rust-orange and butter-yellow, gathered in a dark glazed vase with additional blooms scattered loosely across the table below. The loose, radiant brushwork and warm palette are characteristic of Renoir's floral still lifes from this period, in which he treated flowers as an opportunity for pure, uninhibited color experimentation.

Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French, 1841-1919). Date: c. 1880.
