Théodore Roussel's 'Embers Glow' is a late 19th-century nude study, rendered in warm, ethereal tones. This print brings a touch of fin-de-siècle sophistication to any space.
Théodore Roussel's 'Embers Glow' is a captivating work from the late 19th century, a period marked by artistic experimentation and a fascination with capturing fleeting moments of beauty. Roussel, a French-born artist who spent much of his career in London, was deeply influenced by the Aesthetic movement, which emphasised art for art's sake and a pursuit of beauty above all else. This work exemplifies that ethos, presenting a nude figure bathed in a warm, ethereal light. The subject, a woman kneeling amidst draped fabric, is rendered in a limited palette of deep browns and coppery hues, creating a sense of intimacy and warmth. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figure's form echoing the curves of the surrounding drapery. The title, 'Embers Glow', suggests a sense of smouldering passion and quiet contemplation. The work's subdued tones and delicate rendering make it an ideal addition to any space seeking a touch of understated elegance. Its timeless appeal and artistic merit ensure it will remain a cherished piece for years to come. As a fine art print, 'Embers Glow' brings a touch of fin-de-siècle sophistication to the modern home. Its subtle colour palette complements a variety of interior styles, while its subject matter offers a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities of a bygone era.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Théodore Roussel
Imagine Whistler, but with a mischievous glint in his eye and a penchant for challenging artistic norms. That was Théodore Roussel, a French-born artist who became a vital, if somewhat overlooked, figure in the British art scene. He wasn't content to simply paint pretty pictures; he wanted to shake up the establishment, and that's precisely what he did. Roussel, closely associated with the Aesthetic Movement, sought to elevate printmaking to the level of fine art. His etchings, paintings, and pastels are characterised by their delicate tonal harmonies and subtle observations of everyday life, particularly scenes along the River Thames. Works like 'The Thames near Chelsea' and his depictions of London's bustling streets reveal a keen eye for detail and a desire to capture the fleeting beauty of modern urban existence. He was a master of suggestion, inviting viewers to complete the narrative within each frame. Today, Roussel's art offers a refreshing alternative to the more bombastic works of his contemporaries. His quiet revolution, his dedication to craft, and his celebration of the everyday make his prints highly desirable for collectors seeking beauty and sophistication. Owning a Roussel print is like possessing a secret portal to a more elegant, contemplative world.
