More about this artwork

We invite you to explore Édouard Vuillard's captivating painting titled "La Nourrice" (The Nursemaid), created around 1894-95. This work is a striking example of Vuillard's detailed and textured approach to painting, emphasizing intimate domestic scenes.In "La Nourrice," the artist plays with an array of textures and colors to depict a subtle yet emotionally profound scene. The composition focuses on a figure, which the title suggests to be a nursemaid. Instead of clear outlines, Vuillard uses a patchwork of rich, bold strokes that blend into one another, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tactile quality of the brushwork.The nursemaid's presence is felt rather than distinctly seen, rendered in a harmonious palette of earth tones punctuated by vibrant splashes of pink and white—perhaps part of her attire. The background suggests an interior setting, softly blended and abstract, which cocoons the figure in a warm, nurturing environment. This technique reflects Vuillard's skill in using color and form to evoke mood and atmosphere."La Nourrice" is a testament to Vuillard’s dedication to the intimate and the everyday, transforming a simple domestic scene into a rich, textured canvas that speaks to the quiet moments of life.

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.
