The artwork, titled “Nasturtiums,” was created by Henri Fantin-Latour in 1880. This painting is classified within the Realism art movement and belongs to the flower painting genre.
The artwork presents an elegant and lifelike rendering of vibrant nasturtium flowers. The composition is dominated by tall, slender stems adorned with lush green leaves and bright orange blossoms, standing out against a neutral, subtly textured background. The meticulous attention to detail emphasizes the natural beauty and vitality of the flowers, characteristic of the Realism movement. The play of light and shadow, along with the delicate brushwork, enhances the three-dimensionality of the floral arrangement, creating a sense of depth and realism that is both captivating and serene.
