Vision; vase of flowers (1900)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A vase blooms with flowers that seem to hover between dream and decay—petals too vivid, stems unnervingly still. The air hums with something unspoken, as if the arrangement holds a secret just beyond reach.
Large Vase with Flowers (c. 1912)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A riot of blooms spills from the vase, their petals glowing like stained glass against the dark. The flowers seem to pulse with an inner light, as if dreaming themselves into existence. Something wild lingers beneath the surface of this still life—a whisper of mystery tangled in the stems.
Fleurs Des Champs (1940)

Henri Manguin (French, 1874–1949)

Wildflowers burst from the canvas—vibrant reds, yellows, and blues clash like a summer meadow caught in midday light. Thick brushstrokes give the petals weight, as if they might spill beyond the frame. No delicate arrangement here; these blooms pulse with untamed energy.
Geftambte rose (1692)

Magdelena Rosina Funck (German, unknown)

A single rose, meticulously etched, its petals unfurling with delicate precision. Thorns and leaves curl in sharp contrast to the soft bloom, each line capturing the tension between fragility and resilience. The engraving breathes life into paper, turning botany into quiet drama.
Arranging Flowers

Wilhelm Kotarbiński (Russian, unknown)

A riot of blooms spills from a vase, petals trembling with life. Each stem leans into the next, a tangle of color and wild grace. The flowers seem to breathe, caught in a moment of untamed beauty before they inevitably fade.
Figure under a blossoming tree (1904 – 1905)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A lone figure stands beneath a tree heavy with blossoms, its branches dissolving into soft smudges of color. The air hums with quiet mystery—neither day nor night, dream nor reality. Petals seem to hover between falling and floating upward, caught in some unseen current.
Still Life with Flowers (1905)

Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)

A cluster of blooms floats against darkness, petals glowing like embers. Their forms blur between real and imagined—soft edges dissolving into shadow. This is no ordinary bouquet; these flowers hum with hidden life, pulsing just beyond sight. Something stirs beneath their delicate surfaces.
Madonna of the Carnation (circa 1475)

Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, 1452-1519)

A young mother cradles her child, fingers brushing a bright carnation. The flower’s red petals echo the delicate folds of her sleeve, while the infant reaches with curious hands. Light spills across their faces, softening the quiet intimacy of the moment.
Poppy field

Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

Golden poppies sway in the wind, their red petals bleeding into the green field. Thick brushstrokes twist the sky into a living thing. The earth hums with color, restless under the sun.
