Our Inspiration:Etruscan Vase with Flowers
Odilon Redon (French, 1840–1916)
Tempera on canvas, 32 x 23 1/4 in., 1900–1910
Maria DeWitt Jesup Fund, 1951; acquired from
The Museum of Modern Art, Lillie P. Bliss Collection 53.140.5
In this bouquet, Redon combined palm fronds with artificial or imaginary flowers in a fantastical blue-and-ocher color scheme. The title identifies the vase as Etruscan, but it was likely a modern ceramic imitating an ancient example from the Mediterranean region.
