About the Item

Bédier de Prairie 20th Century French Painter 'Aquatic Plant' Signature: signed lower left ‘Bédier de Prairie' Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: image size 11 x 41 cm, frame size 24,5 x 54,5 cm Biography: The painter Bédier de Prairie, a 20th-century French realist and a member of the French nobility, remains shrouded in mystery. Little is known about his life and work, yet this delicately refined painting reveals a remarkable sensitivity to detail and atmosphere. Painted on panel, the artwork depicts a fragile aquatic plant with delicate white and yellow flowers floating on a reflective water surface. The composition focuses entirely on the floral arrangement, without any surrounding landscape or background distractions. The green leaves are rendered with a precise, almost drawing-like quality, while glimpses of soft blue water emerge between them. The white petals, carefully built up with a slightly more textured layer of paint, are accented by a warm yellow center, enhancing their vibrancy. The paint application is exceptionally smooth and refined, exuding an almost ethereal lightness that showcases the artist’s delicate touch. This understated yet exquisitely detailed work bears the signature Bédier de Prairie in the lower left corner and reflects a profound admiration for the poetry of nature.
