Four Vases of Chrysanthemums 1893

"Four Vases of Chrysanthemums" is an oil-on-canvas painting by Gustave Caillebotte, created in 1893. It depicts a still life arrangement of four vases holding chrysanthemums in various stages of bloom, set against a muted backdrop. The artist's use of light and shadow, along with the loose brushwork, creates a sense of depth and volume, typical of his style. Caillebotte was known for his unconventional compositions and his interest in the modern life of Paris. His "Four Vases of Chrysanthemums" is a fine example of his ability to capture both the beauty and the transience of nature.
