The artwork, titled “Vase with Flowers,” is an oil on canvas piece created by Maurice Utrillo. It belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and is categorized as a flower painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 22 x 14 cm. The piece is currently housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, France.
“Vase with Flowers” captures a vivid and lively arrangement of flowers in a blue vase, set against a somewhat dark and muted background. The flowers, depicted in vibrant reds, pinks, yellows, and whites, are rendered in a loose, textured brushstroke style characteristic of Post-Impressionism. The rich green leaves provide a stark contrast, emphasizing the bloom’s colors. The blue vase, simple yet adorned with a subtle white floral motif, sits on a surface that is suggested with minimal detail, allowing the flowers to remain the focal point of the composition. Maurice Utrillo’s use of color and texture brings a sense of vitality and movement to this still life, making it a charming example of his work within the Post-Impressionist genre.
