More about this artwork

Our online gallery is pleased to feature Édouard Vuillard's intriguing painting, "Au lit: In Bed," created in 1891. This exquisite work illustrates the intimate and serene ambiance typical of Vuillard's approach to interior scenes, capturing a moment of private tranquility.In this piece, Vuillard transports the viewer into a quiet bedroom scene where a figure, likely a woman, is deep in repose. The focus is on the gentle curve and form of her body, draped elegantly with a white bedsheet that contrasts subtly with the muted earth tones of the background. The artist's use of soft, textured brushwork enhances the tactile quality of the bedding and the delicate nature of the sleeper's peaceful state."Au lit: In Bed" is a striking example of Vuillard's mastery in portraying the simplicity and quietude of everyday life, transforming a common moment into an emotive tableau. The inclusion of broad planes of color and restrained detail invites viewers to linger on the composition, evoking a sense of calm and contemplation.

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.
