Red Roses 1895

Emil Carlsen's "Red Roses" (1895) is a classic example of still-life painting. A vase of bright red roses sits against a dark green backdrop, creating a visually striking contrast. Carlsen, known for his precise brushwork, captures the subtle texture of the petals and the soft light reflecting off the ceramic vase. The fallen petals create a sense of delicate transience, adding a layer of depth to this timeless subject. "Red Roses" exemplifies Carlsen's mastery of light and form and his ability to elevate everyday objects into works of art.
