Field of Bluebonnets 1920

Robert Julian Onderdonk's 1920 oil painting "Field of Bluebonnets" depicts a Texas landscape awash in the vibrant blue hues of the state flower. Rendered with an Impressionistic style, the painting captures the beauty of a field carpeted with wildflowers, framed by a hazy background of rolling hills and distant trees. This iconic piece, now housed at the Dallas Museum of Art, became synonymous with the romantic vision of Texas's natural splendor during the early 20th century.
