Blue Irises, Petit Gennevilliers — Gustave Caillebotte | Art Postcard

A garden-eye view rather than a cut-stem still life: Caillebotte goes down into the iris bed at Petit Gennevilliers and reads the pale-blue blooms against living grass rather than a vase or tablecloth. Foxgloves rise behind them, and the whole composition keeps the loose, unposed feel of a plant caught mid-season rather than arranged for the easel. It is a quietly modern way to paint a garden — close, cropped, almost photographic. Produced as an A6 postcard on 350 g/m² cardstock, ready for postcrossing, journaling, or a note to a fellow gardener.
