White Peonies 1913

Theo van Rysselberghe's "White Peonies" (1913) is a captivating example of the artist's signature Impressionist style. The painting depicts a young woman arranging a bouquet of white peonies in a turquoise vase. The soft brushstrokes and luminous colors evoke the tranquility of a sunlit room. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the subtle textures of the flowers, the woman's dress, and the reflections on the polished table surface. Van Rysselberghe's mastery of light and color creates a sense of both intimacy and serenity, inviting viewers to contemplate the simple beauty of nature.
