About Jonquils

The artwork titled “Jonquils” created by the artist Childe Hassam in 1902 belongs to the Impressionism movement and is categorized as a still life. This painting is characterized by the use of light brushstrokes and an emphasis on the effects of light and color typical of the Impressionist style.

The painting depicts a woman seated at a table, surrounded by vibrant jonquils arranged in various vessels. The central focus of the artwork is the cluster of jonquils on the table, their yellow blossoms bursting with color against a textured background. The woman, dressed in a light, patterned garment, seems to be at leisure, her posture relaxed as she engages with the flowers. Hassam’s brushwork provides a softness to the entire scene, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and intimate domesticity. The reflections in the vase and the play of light across the surfaces evoke a sense of everyday beauty that Impressionism sought to capture.
