Small pear tree in blossom (1888)

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

Delicate white blossoms burst from twisted branches, their petals trembling against a sky of restless brushstrokes. The pear tree stands alone, its fleeting spring glory painted with thick, urgent daubs of color. Even the earth seems to pulse with life beneath it.
Lilas Mauve Dans Un Vase De Terre Jaune Et Vert (1930)

Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867–1947)

Lilacs burst from the earthen vase, their purple clusters spilling over the rim. The yellow-green vessel glows against muted shadows, holding the wild bouquet in imperfect balance. Brushstrokes blur the line between flowers and air—as if scent itself had color.
Vase of Flowers (1909)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A glass vase overflows with blooms—some delicate, others wilting. Their petals blur between dream and decay, glowing against the dark like embers. This bouquet feels alive, pulsing with color that defies the stillness around it.
Vase de fleurs (1905-08)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A vase overflows with blooms—soft petals blur into dreamlike hues, dissolving the line between flower and mist. The arrangement feels alive, pulsing with color that seeps beyond its edges. Not a still life, but a whisper of something wild escaping the confines of form.
The Flower Market

Victor Gabriel Gilbert (French, 1847–1935)

A bustling Parisian market overflows with blooms—roses spill from baskets, lilies stand tall in buckets. Vendors arrange their wares as shoppers lean in, drawn by color and scent. The air hums with haggling voices and the rustle of petals, a fleeting harmony of commerce and beauty.
De ruiker

Georg Sauter (German, 1866–1937)

A loose bouquet spills across the canvas—vivid petals, stems tangled in careless grace. The flowers seem caught mid-sway, as if just placed or about to topple. No vase contains them; their wildness is the point.
A young girl with a garland of flowers in her hair

Sophie Anderson (English, 1987–2023)

A girl gazes softly, her hair woven with blossoms. Petals nestle against golden strands, their delicate hues mirroring the flush in her cheeks. The flowers seem to whisper secrets only she can hear, their fragrance almost tangible in the quiet air around her. Youth and nature entwine effortlessly.
The Posy (1900)

John William Godward (English, 1861–1922)

A young woman in flowing classical robes leans against a marble ledge, her fingers brushing delicate petals. The vibrant blooms contrast with her pensive gaze, as if lost in thought. The folds of her dress catch the light, soft and luminous against the cool stone.
Meadow Flowers (Golden Rod and Wild Aster)

John Henry Twachtman (American, 1853–1902)

Golden rod and wild aster sway in the breeze, their delicate stems tangled in a sunlit meadow. Soft brushstrokes blur the line between flowers and grass, as if the whole field might dissolve into light. The air hums with warmth, alive with the quiet rustle of petals against green.
