Rhododendron 1909

"Rhododendron" is a small oil painting by Danish artist Kristian Kongsbøll, created in 1909. The painting depicts a close-up view of a rhododendron flower, rendered in a loose, expressive style. The artist's bold brushstrokes and painterly approach capture the texture and form of the petals, while the background is left more abstract. The painting is currently part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. This work exemplifies Kongsbøll’s interest in capturing the fleeting beauty of nature.
