Jean Laudy, Still Life With Roses

Jean Laudy, Still Life With RosesThis beautiful early 20th century oil painting by Dutch Belgian artist Jean Laudy (1877 1956) depicts a still life with roses. Laudys exquisite still lifes capture a snapshot, a blur of soft petals emerging randomly from daubed ceramics. He painted joy, without overthinking each mark, thus retaining a sense of impressionistic energy and spirit. During his lifetime, the critics were glowing. A wonderful gift of harmony and exceedingly clever

It’s skilfully rendered by an artist in his twilight years and deftly captures an abundance of light

Artwork in good condition and the canvas could be cleaned to bring out a greater level of vibrancy - although we prefer it as it is

His interest in art began following a trip to the Netherlands where he visited several Dutch picture galleries

Often they’d incorporate imagined ruins in a classical style as we can see towards the right of this painting
