The artwork titled “Clump of Chrysanthemums, Garden at Petit Gennevilliers” was created by Gustave Caillebotte in 1890. This oil on canvas painting belongs to the Impressionism movement and falls within the genre of flower painting.
In this vibrant depiction of a garden scene, Caillebotte captures a lush clump of chrysanthemums in various stages of bloom. The flowers, rendered in a medley of colors including whites, reds, yellows, and purples, are set against a richly textured backdrop of green foliage. The artist’s meticulous brushwork and use of light convey a sense of movement and natural beauty, characteristic of the Impressionist style. The play of light and shadow imbues the blooms with a lifelike quality, making them appear almost tangible. This detailed rendering reflects the essence of a garden in full bloom, emphasizing the ephemeral beauty and diversity of nature.
