Still Life with Flowers and Prickly Pears. Artist: Auguste Renoir (French, Limoges 1841-1919 Cagnes-sur-Mer). Dimensions: 28 7/8 x 23 3/8 in. (73.3 x 59.4 cm). Date: ca. 1885.This picture is closely related to Still Life: Flowers, 1885 (Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York), which depicts the same vase--with its distinctive elephant-head handles--and wood table or dresser. Featuring an autumnal bouquet and Czannesque arrangement of prickly pears, the present still life was likely painted the same year, in the wake of a visit with Czanne that summer. At this time, Renoir sought to combine the luminosity of Impressionism with a greater degree of classicism, prompting him to explore techniques that would emulate the dry, light colors of Italian frescoes, which have led to some surface cracks. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: AUGUSTE RENOIR.
