Dahlias to Mme Madeleine E R Bonnet 1912 — Fine Art

Dahlias to Mme Madeleine E R Bonnet 1912 shows a vase of dahlias set against a soft background. The flowers fill the picture with layered petals in pink, mauve and white. Theo van Rysselberghe painted the blooms with small dots of colour that sit next to one another.

This fine art print uses a frame in wood or black to give the picture a clear edge. The white frame stays clean against the soft petals, while the dark wood frame sets the flowers apart from the wall.

The print works on a hallway wall near the front door. From the landing you see the flower shapes first, and near the picture you notice the dotted paint marks. The dahlias sit in a narrow passage and the frame lines both sides.
