Aigles 1897

"Aigles" (1897) by Maurice Pillard Verneuil is a striking depiction of three majestic eagles perched in a stylized landscape. The artist's use of bold lines and vibrant colors creates a sense of movement and power, while the simplified forms of the birds and branches evoke an Art Nouveau aesthetic. The composition, with its dynamic lines and contrasting colors, captures the eagles' predatory nature and the beauty of the natural world. The work reflects a popular trend in late 19th century art, where artists sought to express themes of nature and the animal kingdom.
