Description

Week 03 Flowers (not in a Bucket, in a Bouquet) (1061 – 1065) 02/18 – 02/20/2020 ID 1063

Gustave Caillebotte French 1848-1894 Gennevilliers

Chrysanthemums in the Garden at Petit-Gennevilliers , 1893

Oil on canvas

Although Caillebotte was a lifelong gardener, his interest in floral still lifes did not develop until the 1880s. He likely based this work of 1893 on flowers he cultivated on his property at Petit-Gennevilliers, a small town on the Seine just northwest of Paris.

Chrysanthemums were then hugely popular in France, celebrated for their resplendent colors and associations with eh exotic Far East. This unusual, close up view of densely packed blossoms has been related to Caillebotte’s project for dining room doors ornamented with images of plants—a conception akin to the decorative series that his friend Monet based on his own garden at Giverny.
