The painting 'Flowers in a Crystal Vase' is an 1882 work by Édouard Manet, famed for his contributions to Impressionism. Housed in the Musée d'Orsay since 1986, it features a stunning bouquet of clematis and 'oeillets', a term in French Baroque period pertaining to various Dianthus genus flowers. The artwork was crafted in July 1882 at Rueil, brushed delicately with oil onto a canvas. It is a striking example of a still life painting, a genre which Manet focused on towards the end of his career, often featuring flowers as the subject.
