Lilacs and Peonies in Two Vases — Gustave Caillebotte | Art Postcard

Caillebotte juxtaposes white lilacs and pink peonies in two distinct vessels — a green vase and a patterned blue-and-white jardinière — set on a richly patterned cloth that gives the whole scene an interior, almost parlor-room presentation rather than a garden view. The pairing of two separate arrangements, each with its own vase and its own logic, is unusual among his still lifes and suggests a deliberate study in contrast: cool white against warm pink, plain glaze against ornament. Printed as an A6 card on 350 g/m² stock, it suits journaling, framing, or correspondence with someone who loves flowers as much as painting.
