Spring Flowers, 1864. Creator: Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926)
Spring Flowers, 1864. This early work reveals Monets fascination with capturing the transitory effects that became the primary focus of his later innovations. Painted with almost scientific accuracy, this still life has a freshness and immediacy derived partly from its composition. Isolated against a dark background, the fully mature peonies, potted hydrangeas, and basketed lilacs spill downward and outward from the geraniums at the rear. At the same time, Monets energetic brushwork conveys the sparkling play of light on leaves and petals

With meticulous precision, Monet paints a still life that exudes a sense of freshness and immediacy. The composition isolates fully bloomed peonies, potted hydrangeas, and basketed lilacs against a dark backdrop while they cascade downwards from the geraniums at the rear. Monet's brushwork is vibrant and energetic, skillfully conveying the play of light on leaves and petals. Each stroke seems to sparkle with life as it captures nature's delicate beauty. This work exemplifies Monet's fascination with transitory effects, which would become central to his future innovations in art. Dating back to the 19th century, this oil painting represents an era when Monet was establishing himself as one of France's most influential artists.
