Still Life With Roses, Pastel On Cardboard
A charming pastel still life on cardboard by the renowned Venetian painter Luigi Cima (1860–1944), one of the leading figures in landscape and genre painting from the late 19th to the 20th century.
The composition depicts a delicate bouquet of roses in shades of yellow and pink, arranged in a bowl and resting on a wooden surface. The dark, bluish background, flanked by decorative elements (bronze vases or candelabra), creates a vibrant chiaroscuro contrast that enhances the softness of the petals and the luminosity of the scene.
The work attests to the artist’s great technical skill in the use of pastel, capable of rendering the effects of light with extreme poeticism and chromatic sensitivity.
