More about this artwork

"Sagittaire" (1896) by Maurice Pillard Verneuil stands as a charming testimony to the Art Nouveau movement, illustrating the detailed and harmonious interplay between nature and design that typifies this artistic era. In this painting, Verneuil invites viewers into a tranquil botanical scene comprised of elegant aquatic plants.The artwork showcases a meticulous depiction of the Sagittaria plant, commonly known as arrowhead due to its arrow-shaped leaves. The prominent features in the painting are the graceful, long stems and the broad, pointed leaves, rising assertively yet delicately from a subtle, watery base hinted at by Verneuil’s soft tone usage. Above these solid green leaves, small groups of white flowers with subtle pinkish hues bloom confidently, each petal rendered with a naturalistic yet stylized touch typical of Art Nouveau.In "Sagittaire," Verneuil not only exhibits his mastery over botanical illustration but also embeds the ethos of Art Nouveau, marrying natural forms with aesthetic elegance.
