Vase of Flowers

'Vase of Flowers' is an enchanting example of a flower painting created by French artist Henri Rousseau. Known for his distinctive style of Naïve art (primitivism), Rousseau's work often exhibits a vibrant sense of surrealism. The painting, completed in 1907, features an exquisite flower arrangement illuminated under moonlight against the backdrop of a complex jungle scene. Rendered meticulously in oil on a canvas, 'Vase of Flowers' is a classic representation of Rousseau's ability to juxtapose the sophistication of the vase with the primitive allure of the jungle.
