Large Flower Paintings, Roses Still Life, Oil Painting Flowers, Art Deco, XX Siècle (qf727)

The Antique Flower Paintings category presents a large and elegant oil painting on canvas, a floral still life dating from the late 19th century

or the early 20th century, within the Art Nouveau and Art Deco context.

This is a charming still life of roses, a work of classical taste, rooted in the 19th-century European floral painting tradition.

The composition features a rich bouquet of polychrome roses, in delicate shades of pink, ivory, cream, and deep red, arranged in dark

vases and resting on a surface covered with a textured drapery, rendered with soft and enveloping brushstrokes.

The artist demonstrates remarkable painterly skill in the rendering of volume, light, and subtle tonal transitions, creating a warm and

harmonious atmosphere.

The oil painting on canvas is signed lower right J. Stappers, a Belgian painter known for his still lifes and floral compositions.

Julien Stappers (1875–1960) was a Belgian painter who mainly depicted flowers and still lifes, achieving notable artistic results.

He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and later exhibited his works in Brussels. His artistic training took place in Belgium during

a period when European painting was influenced by both academic tradition and modern post-Impressionist movements.

It is worth noting that the oil painting retains its original gilded frame in fine gold leaf, contemporary with the artwork.

Both the painting and the frame have been professionally and carefully restored.
