Roses in a Glass 1874

"Roses in a Glass" is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Camille Corot completed in 1874, just a year before his death. Corot is known for his landscapes, but he also painted still lifes. In this work, he uses a loose, impressionistic brushstroke to depict a simple bouquet of roses in a glass vase against a dark background. The painting is characterized by its soft light and muted colors. The subject matter and style of the work is typical of Corot's later period, where he focused on simplicity and the beauty of everyday objects.
