About Still Life with Daffodils

The artwork titled “Still Life with Daffodils” is a creation by the artist John Singer Sargent, dating back to 1890. Executed in oil on canvas, it exemplifies the Impressionism movement. The dimensions of the painting are 81.28 by 45.72 centimeters, and it belongs to the genre of still life.

The artwork features a bouquet of bright yellow daffodils placed in a central position on a table. The flowers, painted with quick, expressive brushstrokes, radiate vibrancy and life. To the left of the bouquet, there is a plate with three oranges, delicately capturing the nuances of light and shadow on their surfaces. The background is austere and dark, providing a stark contrast that accentuates the luminosity of the daffodils and the oranges. A few wine glasses set on the table add subtle reflections and contribute to the overall composition, exemplifying the typical Impressionist fascination with the effects of light. The use of color, light, and texture in the artwork draws the viewer’s attention to the simplicity and beauty within an everyday scene.
