More about this artwork

Welcome to our online exhibition of ornamental art! Today, we feature the intricate and captivating work, "Martinets et chèvrefeuille, bordure. Écureuils et noisetier, papier peint. Oiseaux et noisetier en fleur, bordure." by Maurice Pillard Verneuil from 1897.This vibrant artwork is a beautiful example of Verneuil’s mastery in the Art Nouveau style, showcasing his affinity for nature-inspired themes. The painting is richly layered with natural motifs, divided into distinct sections, each teeming with life and energy.In the upper section, a refreshing arrangement of honeysuckle flowers intertwined with lively martinets, or swifts, creates a harmonious natural border. This honeysuckle motif, symbolizing devoted affection, and the swifts, known for their speed and agility, are elegantly portrayed against a dark green background, imbuing the scene with a sense of serenity and movement.The central and most visually striking part of this piece features a delightful scene of orange-hued squirrels amidst a dense thicket of hazel leaves. The squirrels are depicted in mid-action, frolicking and gathering nuts, their forms and tails stylized in sweeping, dynamic curves that capture the eye.Completing the artwork is the lower border, which mirrors elements from the upper section but replaces the swifts with delicate hazel blossoms amongst their leaves. The choice of cool and warm tones, detailed line work and rhythmic patterns characterizes Verneuil's unique ability to animate the paper canvas with a sense of depth and vibrancy.Together, these elements make "Martinets et chèvrefeuille, bordure. Écureuils et noisetier, papier peint.
