Description
Poppies is a beautiful painting by famous American artist, John Singer Sargent, well known for being influenced by both the Realist and Impressionist movements. At the time in the late 19th century, he was widely considered "the leading portrait painter of his generation." This beautiful painting featuring an image of poppies in a natural scene, rather than a still life, follows the widely shared Impressionist idea of "Plein air" that saw the beauty of things in a natural setting. Though Sargent was most well known for his portraits, this painting serves as proof of the artist's broad talent and the wide array of subjects that he was able to produce. With the vivid and saturated reds, the poppies seem to indeed "pop." This painting is sure to brighten up any room in the home! Size: 11" H x 13" W x 2" D
