Moss Roses in a Vase Edouard Manet Date: 1882; Paris, France * Style: Impressionism Genre: still life Oil on canvas 22 x 13 5/8 in. (55.9 x 34.6 cm) Location: Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA, US
Manet painted a series of small still lifes in his later years, when illness made working on a larger scale difficult. The flowers and leaves in this image are painted in quick strokes of color, and light reflecting off the surface of the vase conveys a sense of the solidity and weight of the glass. The apparent casualness of the composition and the confident handling of oil paint give the work a striking directness.
