The artwork titled “Floral Still Life,” created by Maurice Prendergast between 1910 and 1913, belongs to the Post-Impressionism movement. Executed in oil on panel, it measures 36.83 x 48.9 cm and falls within the genre of still life. Currently, this piece resides in a private collection.
“Floral Still Life” exemplifies Prendergast’s delicate yet vibrant handling of color and form. The artwork features a composition of diverse, vividly colored flowers elegantly arranged in a decorative vase. The background, rendered with dynamic brushstrokes, provides a textured contrast that enhances the collective vivacity of the bouquet. The overall tone and treatment reveal an intricate blend of naturalism and stylization characteristic of Post-Impressionism. Prendergast’s technique imbues the scene with a lively richness, evoking both the ephemeral beauty of the flowers and the timeless elegance of his artistic vision.
