Buddha's Flowers: Lotus, Tokyo 1894

"Buddha's Flowers: Lotus, Tokyo" is an oil on canvas painting created by American artist Theodore Wores in 1894. This work depicts a serene pond filled with lush lotus plants, their large leaves and delicate blooms reflecting the tranquility of the scene. Wores, known for his landscapes and floral still lifes, captures the beauty of Japanese nature in this work, suggesting an appreciation for the country's rich cultural tradition. The painting's soft palette of greens, whites, and pinks creates a calming effect, making it a perfect example of the Impressionist style that was popular during the late 19th century.
