Fleurs

Frédéric Bazille was a contemporary of Claude Monet and a genius of Impressionism. In his short life, he produced fewer than 100 oil paintings, of which flowers and gardens have always been a central subject. In 1870, at the age of 29, Bazille created Fleur during the last year of his life. The work demonstrates both a Realist perspective and style as well as a marvelous blend of Impressionist themes and techniques, highlighting his exploration as a pioneer of Impressionism.
