Spring Flowers

Painted in 1864, the first productive year of Monet’s career, this still life shows his early fascination with fleeting effects of light. Isolated against a dark background, full-blown peonies, potted hydrangeas and basketed lilacs spill downward and outward from the geraniums at the back, while energetic brushwork catches the sparkle of light on leaves and petals. “I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers,” Monet said.
