Manuel de la Rosa
Large Spanish Painting of Flowers by Manuel de la Rosa

Early 20th Century

About the Item

Large Spanish painting of flowers by Manuel de la Rosa Spanish, Late 19th Century Frame: Height 146cm, width 67cm, depth 7cm Canvas: Height 126cm, width 46cm Painted by Manuel de la Rosa (Spanish, 1860-1924), this oil on canvas depicts a beautifully coloured floral composition. Finely painted flowers are depicted in various shades of whites, pinks and yellow on a pale blue background. Richly coloured green and brown foliage occupies the bottom half of the painting, out of which flowers gradually appear. Flowers are often one of the main subjects of Rosa's work, and this large painting is no exception. The still life composition celebrates the flora perhaps surrounding the artist at the time of creation or is the embodiment of his imagination.

  • Mighty oak on a gold-leaf background by Italian botanical artist
    By Margherita Leoni
    Located in Milan, IT
    The artist has an elegant mark of nature, and the experience of working en plein air allows her to capture emotions that would otherwise not be possible. She is considered Italy's best botanical artist and collaborates with many botanical gardens where she also holds watercolour courses, a technique she masters like few contemporary artists. The artist herself prepared the background in real, stainless gold, which gives it a modern, warm surface that chameleonically matches the colours of the surrounding walls. Margherita Leoni was born and raised in Italy, however, she spent most of her adult life in San Paulo, Brazil. It was there that she started a collaboration with the botanical faculty of the local university, allowing her to develop interesting research in rare botanical species studies and drawings. For this reason, most of her artworks, illustrate Brasilian botanical species, both rare and common. The artist's mastery of watercolour allows her to take part in botanical expeditions where she paints in plein air. Given her exquisite watercolour technique and her extensive botanical knowledge, Margherita Leoni is considered the heir of Margaret Mee. Among her most important exhibitions, three of her artworks were selected by Shirley Sherwood...

  • Still Life of a Poppy, Iris and Peonies in a Glass Vase
    Located in London, GB
    Oil on canvas Image size: 23 1/4 x 19 1/2 inches (59 x 50 cm) Dutch Ripple frame PROVENANCE Private Collection, London Here a glass vase containing an exuberant display of flowers stands on a ledge. With only one known exception, Verelst included vases in all of his flower paintings. The asymmetrical arrangement of the flowers fills most of the canvas and the vibrant bouquet contains peonies, a bearded iris and a poppy set amidst a perfusion of twisting leaves and stems. Poppies were one of Verelst's favourite flowers and were commonly featured in his still life's. This painting shows a superb understanding of light and colour that is consistent with Verelst's other works. Indeed, the strong contrast between the brightly lit, the colourful blossoms and the surrounding darkness lends to the flowers and foliage a hyper realistic quality and a strong sense of three-dimensionality. The Artist Verelst was born in The Hague in 1644 and came from a family of painters. His brothers Johannes and Herman also became painters and, like Simon, were trained by their father. In 1663 Simon became a member of the Confrérie Pictura, the painter's association in The Hague, and soon afterwards moved to nearby Vooburg with his brother Herman, who also painted flowers. In 1668 Simon he moved to London where the Duke of Buckingham became his principle patron and on 11 April 1669 he met with Samuel Pepys. He was enormously successful in London and his elegant portraits became popular for a time during the 1670s among court circles. He painted this portrait of Prince Rupert, son of Frederick V, Count Palatine and Elizabeth Stuart...
