Antique Flower Painting, Lilac Flowers, Oil On Canvas, 20th Century. (qf698)

The Old Flower Paintings category features a beautiful oil painting on canvas from the late 19th or early 20th century.

It is a pleasant still life depicting a large yellow-ochre ceramic vase of lilac flowers in various colors:

white, light lilac, and deep purple. Some bunches have fallen onto the table, suggesting a natural and spontaneous effect.

This antic painting of lilac flowers fan out, filling the canvas. The painter uses a dense, textured brushstroke,

especially on the petals, which appear almost in relief. It is a typical technique of floral painting in the late 19th and first

half of the 20th century, in continuity with Impressionism. Art Nouveau. The painting conveys elegance and freshness.

The canvas painting is signed lower left by Luc. Gilb. Darpy, a French painter of still lifes, but especially flowers.

Lucien Gilbert Darpy (1875-1964) was a student of Géry-Bichard and Nel-Duchel.

He exhibited regularly at the"Salon des Artistes Français" and became a member in 1897.

Darpy specialized in still lifes, especially flowers, often roses, and refined floral arrangements.

The oil painting is presented in an original lacquered wooden frame. The oil painting and the frame have been

carefully and professionally restored.
