The artwork titled “Roses in a Champagne Glass” was created by the artist Edouard Manet around the year 1882 in Paris, France. This oil on canvas painting measures 32.4 x 24.8 cm and belongs to the Realism art movement. The genre of this artwork is still life, and it is currently housed in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, UK.
The artwork itself features a delicate arrangement of roses placed in a slender champagne glass. The composition captures the elegance and ephemeral beauty of the flowers, rendered with masterful brushstrokes that convey both the texture of the petals and the translucence of the glass. The painterly technique of Manet is evident in the loose yet deliberate application of paint, creating a sense of spontaneity and freshness. The contrast between the vibrant hues of the roses and the subdued background highlights the subject, drawing the viewer’s attention to the natural beauty of the flowers.
