Still Life with White and Red Roses (1860 - 1876)

This page presents "Still Life with White and Red Roses" (1860 - 1876), created by Narcisse-Virgile Diaz de La Peña. It is listed in the Still Life collection. The image is in portrait orientation. Still Life in brief: Still life, the arrangement of flowers, fruit, tableware, and other objects, became a distinct genre in the Netherlands and Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Dutch vanitas paintings used objects such as skulls, candles, and wilting flowers to remind viewers that time passes. Context for 1860 - 1876: Japanese prints reached Europe in large numbers and influenced many artists, while photography changed what painting needed to do. In the 1890s, colour lithography and Art Nouveau made the illustrated poster a celebrated art form.
