Alfred Rouby, Still Life With Chrysanthemums

Alfred Rouby, Still Life With Chrysanthemums

A beautiful 19th-century still life with chrysanthemums by French painter, Alfred Rouby (1849-1909). It’s been rendered sublimely with deft impressionistic brushwork and a masterful eye for colour.

Rouby was a specialist and is predominantly known for his gorgeous still lifes, which tend to feature flowers and stoneware. Most of these include at least one flower laid in the foreground - as if fallen from the bouquet. Perhaps a symbolic reference to the passing of time.

Rouby lived in Paris and trained under Pierre-Marie Beyle (1837-1902).

The painting is signed in the bottom left and housed within a good later frame.
