Description
A striking floral design in the style of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, featuring stylised white flowers and green foliage against a vibrant yellow background. A bold and elegant Art Nouveau-inspired print.
This striking floral design, reminiscent of the work of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, offers a glimpse into the world of late 19th-century decorative arts. While directly attributed to Lily Lewis Rood, the influence of Puvis de Chavannes's distinctive style is undeniable. The composition features stylised white flowers with green foliage against a vibrant yellow background, creating a bold and eye-catching contrast. The design is both elegant and graphic, making it a versatile addition to any interior. The simplified forms and flat planes are characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement, which sought to integrate art into everyday life through decorative objects and designs. This print captures the essence of that era, offering a touch of historical charm and artistic flair to your home. Perfect for adding a splash of colour and a touch of vintage elegance to any room, this print is sure to be a conversation starter.

Artist Biography
Pierre Puvis De Chavannes
Puvis de Chavannes painted murals for the Boston Public Library without ever visiting Boston. He worked from marble samples and architectural models shipped to his Paris studio, matching pale fresco-like colours to a building he would never enter. The library got eight stairway murals. Boston got a painter who did not need to see a place to understand it.
He was born in Lyon in 1824, the son of a mining engineer from an old Burgundian noble family. He added the ancestral "de Chavannes" to his name himself. A serious illness interrupted his planned engineering career; a trip to Italy redirected him toward painting. Back in Paris he studied briefly under Delacroix, then under Henri Scheffer and Thomas Couture, but developed a style that owed little to any of them: simplified forms, rhythmic outlines, muted colour that imitated the appearance of fresco, applied to large allegorical subjects drawn from antiquity and French history.
His murals at the Pantheon in Paris (begun 1874, depicting the life of Saint Genevieve) and at town halls, churches and civic buildings across France earned him the informal title "the painter for France". The technique was not true fresco but oil on canvas affixed to the wall (marouflage), which allowed him to work in his studio. The pale, flattened surfaces influenced an unlikely range of successors: Seurat studied his compositions, Gauguin absorbed his flat colour planes, Maurice Denis built Nabi theory partly on his example, and Picasso's Blue Period owes something to his chalky palette.
From 1856 he was in a relationship with the Romanian princess Marie Cantacuzene. They were together for forty years, marrying only shortly before both died in 1898.
