Still life around 1900, oil on canvas post-impressionism

Hello. I am offering this authentic oil on canvas in perfect condition, unsigned but with many effects. Against a dark and deep background, a bouquet of flowers rises in a simple glass vase, as if suspended in silence. The poppies, in incandescent red, immediately draw the eye and embody memory, sacrifice, and the fragility of life. Their vibrant presence contrasts with the surrounding gloom, reminding us of the strength of life in the face of oblivion. Among them, the cornflowers, in an intense and soothing blue, bring a note of softness and hope. Symbols of solidarity, fidelity, and resilience, they engage in a subtle dialogue with the poppies in a harmonious blend of colours and meanings. The whole composition creates a still life that is both intimate and solemn, where the simplicity of the vase and the decor highlights the symbolism of the flowers. This still life is a silent tribute to memory, peace, and the persistence of hope in the heart of darkness. Frame dimensions: 36 cm x 57 cm. Canvas dimensions: 32.5 cm x 54 cm. On each anniversary of the Armistice of 1918, Anglo-Saxons traditionally wear a poppy, while the French adorn themselves with a cornflower. The origin of this tradition is intended to raise funds for the maimed of the Great War. Poppies and cornflowers have become the symbolic flowers of the First World War, bearing witness to the sacrifice of soldiers and the resilience of nature after the destruction of the battlefields. This old oil on canvas is in perfect condition. It has been recently cleaned, and a satin anti-UV varnish from Winsor and Newton has been applied. The wooden frame is the original one. It has been restored, glued, nailed, and stapled, then repainted black. Very serious seller. Robust shipping with photos.
