More about this artwork
The painting "Sceau de Salomon 3" by Maurice Pillard Verneuil, created in 1896, is a delightful example of Art Nouveau design that intricately blends botanical motifs with geometric precision. This image, characterized by its elegant decorative forms, showcases Verneuil’s mastery in pattern design and color harmony.The composition is divided into distinct sections, each filled with stylized floral patterns that are both rhythmic and symmetrical. The main field features a dense arrangement of swirling, leaf-like forms in muted shades of blue and green, contrasted sharply against a backdrop of golden and olive hues that evoke a sense of depth and vibrancy. Adjacent to this, a narrower panel complements the main design with its vertical cascade of delicate, vine-like elements that accentuate the flow and organic nature of the piece.Toward the bottom, a separate panel mirrors the thematic and stylistic elements of the main piece, yet introduces a lighter, earthier background that offers a visual softness compared to the more vivid tones above. The recurring motif of intertwining leaves and tendrils throughout the painting establishes a cohesive visual narrative, symbolizing nature’s endless cycles and the intertwining of life’s paths.
