Gladiolas in a Vase — Fine Art

Gladiolas in a Vase by Pierre-Auguste Renoir shows tall flower stalks standing in a glass vase. The blooms rise with curved stems and loose red and pink petals against a plain ground. Short brush strokes build the petals one by one. Step closer and the strokes separate, giving the flowers a moving edge.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A white frame keeps the edge clear and lets the red petals stay forward. A dark wood frame gives the picture a steady line and holds the soft background in place.

Place it on a dining room wall near a sideboard. From the table you read the tall stems and the vase shape first. As you pass the doorway the loose strokes fill in and the colours settle.
