Vase of Flowers 1875

"Vase of Flowers" (1875) by George Cochran Lambdin depicts a vibrant still life arrangement of various flowers, including roses, irises, and fuchsias. The artist uses a naturalistic style to capture the delicate beauty of each blossom, contrasting the bright colors of the flowers with the muted tones of the vase and background. The painting is a fine example of Lambdin's mastery of light and shadow, creating depth and dimension in the composition. While showcasing Lambdin's skill as a still life painter, this piece also reflects the popular trend of floral subjects in 19th century art.
