More about this artwork

Titled "Maternité," this evocative painting by Édouard Vuillard, created between 1895 and 1896, captures a tender and intimate portrayal of motherhood. The work is characteristic of Vuillard's style, which often focused on intimate interiors and the private lives of his subjects. In "Maternité," we see a mother cradling her child in a softly lit domestic setting. The scene is framed by the rich textures and patterns that are quintessential to Vuillard's work.The composition draws the viewer's eye towards the gentle interaction between mother and child. The surrounding room is rendered in muted, earthy tones and bold patterns, with a particularly striking red and black patterned carpet. This domestic scene is imbued with a sense of warmth and tranquility. Vuillard's technique with its rich layering of colors and intricate detail in the textures of the furniture and fabrics enhances the cozy and secure environment.This painting not only reflects the physical connection between mother and child, but also echoes the artist's deep interest in the emotional and psychological depth of his subjects.

Jean-Édouard Vuillard (11 November 1868 – 21 June 1940) was a French painter, decorative artist, and printmaker. From 1891 through 1900, Vuillard was a prominent member of the avant garde artistic group Les Nabis, creating paintings that assembled areas of pure color. His interior scenes, influenced by Japanese prints, explored the spatial effects of flattened planes of color, pattern, and form. As a decorative artist, Vuillard painted theater sets, panels for interior decoration, and designed plates and stained glass. After 1900, when the Nabis broke up, Vuillard adopted a more realistic style, approaching landscapes and interiors with greater detail and vivid colors. In the 1920s and 1930s, he painted portraits of prominent figures in French industry and the arts in their familiar settings.

Vuillard was influenced by Paul Gauguin, among other post-impressionist painters.
