About the artwork
This page presents "A Girl with Sunflowers" (1889), created by Michael Ancher. About the period around 1889: The later nineteenth century is the era of Impressionism, whose first group exhibition was held in Paris in 1874, followed by Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and the Arts and Crafts movement. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form. It is listed in the Figurative collection. The image is in square orientation. Background on Figurative: Portraits, group scenes, studies of the nude, and pictures of daily life all belong to figurative art. Figurative art depicts people and recognisable scenes, and it has been central to European painting since antiquity.
"A Girl with Sunflowers" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A square format is flexible and works well on its own or as part of a grid on a gallery wall. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
