More about this artwork

Édouard Vuillard, a renowned French artist and a key member of the post-impressionist group Les Nabis, captures an intimate domestic scene in his painting "The Luncheon" (ca. 1895). This artwork illustrates a moment of everyday life, infusing it with texture, color, and subtle narrative.In the painting, three figures gather around a table densely laid with the remnants of a meal. The setting seems to be a cozy, dimly lit room which reflects the personal and private themes Vuillard was known for. On the table, an assortment of items including what appears to be fruit, bottles, and various dishes gives a glimpse into their meal. The gestures and expressions of the figures suggest a casual yet engaging conversation.The brushwork is loose and expressive, typical of Vuillard's style, allowing the rich colors and patterns to merge into each other and create a vibrant tapestry-like effect. This technique not only unifies the figures with their surroundings but also enhances the feeling of intimacy and immediacy."The Luncheon" is a fine example of how Vuillard used his art to explore the nuances of private life and interior spaces.

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.
