The composition features a glass vase containing a cluster of lilacs, positioned alongside a dark lemon and a red apple. The artist employs a technique characterised by short, broken brushstrokes, which creates a textured surface across the canvas. This approach reflects the influence of contemporary French painting, particularly the experiments with colour and light that defined the late nineteenth-century avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background is rendered in a light, dappled manner, providing a neutral field that allows the deeper tones of the foliage and the fruit to emerge. The glass vase is depicted with a degree of abstraction, its form suggested through light and shadow rather than rigid outlines. The contrast between the cool, violet hues of the flowers and the warm, saturated red of the apple provides a visual balance to the arrangement. De Haan focuses on the materiality of the objects, using paint to suggest the weight of the fruit and the delicate structure of the blossoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work demonstrates the artist's interest in the decorative potential of the still life genre. By simplifying the forms and focusing on the interplay of light across the surfaces, de Haan moves away from traditional academic representation. The painting captures a quiet, domestic moment, yet the application of paint remains energetic and deliberate. It is a representative example of the stylistic shifts occurring within European art at the time, as painters moved toward more subjective interpretations of their subjects. The work remains a study in colour relationships and the arrangement of everyday objects within a confined space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/les-amours-de-pierre-ronsard-les-amours-de-marie-emile-bernard\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLes Amours de Pierre Ronsard: Les Amours De Marie - Émile Bernard — Émile Bernard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/the-village-of-kerhostin-maxime-maufra\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Village of Kerhostin - Maxime Maufra — Maxime Maufra\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meijer de Haan","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58758422561103,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58758461686095,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58758461718863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58758461751631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58758461784399,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58758461817167,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58758461849935,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58758461882703,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58758461915471,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58758461948239,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58758461981007,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58758462013775,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lilacs-in-a-Glass-Apple-and-Lemon_Poster_CompositorV1_1789224563177.jpg?v=1789226224"},{"product_id":"petrus-franciscus-greive-meijer-isaac-de-haan","title":"Petrus Franciscus Greive - Meijer Isaäc de Haan","description":"\u003cp\u003eA formal portrait of the Dutch painter Petrus Franciscus Greive, executed by his student Meijer Isaäc de Haan in a traditional realist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts the Dutch painter Petrus Franciscus Greive, rendered by his student, Meijer Isaäc de Haan. The work captures Greive in a formal, oval-framed composition, typical of the mid-nineteenth-century Dutch academic tradition. De Haan employs a restrained palette, focusing on the subtle tonal shifts of the subject's face against a muted, earth-toned background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreive is presented with a direct gaze, his features articulated through precise brushwork that defines the texture of his hair and the structure of his facial hair. The lighting is focused, creating a soft modelling of the cheekbones and forehead, which draws attention to the sitter's expression. The dark attire, consisting of a coat and a simple cravat, provides a stark contrast to the lighter skin tones, ensuring the face remains the primary subject of the viewer's attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore his later association with the Pont-Aven school and his friendship with Paul Gauguin, De Haan worked within the established conventions of Dutch portraiture.

The application of paint is controlled, showing a disciplined approach to form and shadow. The oval format, a common choice for nineteenth-century portraiture, frames the subject in a way that suggests a sense of intimacy and historical documentation.

The work reflects the influence of Paul Gauguin, with whom de Haan shared a studio and artistic philosophy during the late 1880s. The composition employs the Synthetist style, characterised by flat planes of colour and bold, simplified forms that move away from traditional naturalistic representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist depicts himself wearing local Breton attire, a choice that signals his immersion in the regional culture and his departure from his earlier, more academic training in Amsterdam. His expression is sombre, with a direct gaze that engages the viewer. The palette is dominated by earthy tones, including deep browns, ochres, and muted blues, which create a sense of gravity and introspection. The background, featuring a window frame, provides a structural element that anchors the figure while maintaining the flattened pictorial space typical of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDe Haan's application of paint is deliberate, with visible brushwork that adds texture to the surface of the canvas.

The work reflects the influence of the Pont-Aven School, where artists moved away from naturalistic representation toward a more expressive, simplified application of paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs a heavy, tactile brushwork that defines the volume of the objects. The colour palette remains grounded in earthy tones, with the ochre of the onions and the deep brown of the ceramic vessel contrasting against the cool, pale blue of the cloth. De Haan avoids fine detail, opting instead for bold forms that occupy the space with a sense of weight and presence. The lighting is directional, casting shadows that anchor the objects to the surface and create a sense of physical mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis painting demonstrates the shift in De Haan's practice as he moved from his earlier, more academic Dutch style toward the synthetic approach favoured by his contemporaries in France. The arrangement of everyday items serves as a study in form and texture, demonstrating a focus on the material quality of the subjects. The composition is contained and stable, with the circular forms of the onions and the pot providing a rhythmic structure across the canvas. The work remains a representative example of the artist's period in Brittany, where he experimented with the expressive potential of colour and simplified shapes, moving beyond mere observation to create a cohesive, unified image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/orchard-edouard-vuillard\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eOrchard - Édouard Vuillard — Édouard Vuillard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/it\/products\/landscape-with-figure-joaquin-sorolla\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape with Figure - Joaquín Sorolla — Joaquín Sorolla\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meijer de Haan","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58804767654223,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58804772798799,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58804772831567,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58804772864335,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58804772897103,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58804772929871,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58804772962639,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58804772995407,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58804773028175,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58804773060943,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58804773093711,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58804773126479,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Still-Life_-Pot-Onions-Bread-and-Green-Apples_Poster_CompositorV1_1789645248692.jpg?v=1789645634"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/it\/collections\/meijer-de-haan.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
