The artwork titled “Jasmine” was created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1915. It is an exemplar of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and belongs to the genre of flower painting.
In this delicate composition, the artist meticulously depicts the slender stems and vibrant yellow-green blossoms of jasmine. The artwork is characterized by its clean lines and minimalistic approach, typical of Mackintosh’s style. The stems, rendered with precision, extend vertically across the canvas, adorned with buds and flowers in various stages of bloom. The soft color palette and the fine linear details evoke a sense of elegance and tranquility. The subtle use of shading and the sparse background space further accentuate the organic beauty of the jasmine plant, highlighting Mackintosh’s mastery in blending simplicity with sophisticated design.
