More about this artwork
"Jalousie" (Jealousy), a compelling work by Eugène Grasset, powerfully captures a range of emotions through symbolic details and striking imagery. Centered in a lush, circular frame, the painting features a woman with an intense and contemplative expression. Her flowing golden locks and delicate features are juxtaposed against a vivid backdrop of blooming roses and distant mountains that evoke a sense of both beauty and solitude.The roses, traditionally symbols of love and passion, may also hint at the thorns of jealousy, suggesting a deeper narrative behind the woman's gaze. Her attire, richly decorated with geometric patterns, adds an element of mystery and exotic allure, further drawing the viewer into her emotional world.Through "Jalousie," Grasset masterfully employs Art Nouveau themes and techniques, using bold outlines and flat areas of color to create a striking, modern aesthetic.
