Georges Jeannin Paris 1841 1925 Floral Composition

Georges Jeannin (1841-1925) was a French painter who specialized in floral still lifes. He was particularly recognized for his lush depictions of roses and bouquets with rich colors and expressive textures. His signature style is seen here with abundant flowers painted in a generous and vibrant brushstroke. The use of contrast between a dark background and the vibrant colors of the flowers is typical of his work. The bouquet is arranged in a natural, almost wild manner, which gives an impression of freshness and spontaneity. There are dynamic brushstrokes and a texture marked by the impasto technique, making the painting lively and expressive. Georges Jeannin was a recognized artist in his time, exhibiting regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français. He even received accolades for his work, and his works were highly prized in high society for their elegance and timeless beauty. This painting therefore fits perfectly into his body of work, demonstrating his talent for capturing the delicacy and richness of floral arrangements. The gold frame with a white inner border highlights the painting and adds a touch of classic elegance.
