Jean-Baptiste Armand Guillaumin French, 1841-1927

Description

Arranged with fruit, pastries and a ceramic jug, Délices de l’Après-Midi is animated by expressive brushwork and a vibrant, layered palette. Guillaumin’s confident handling of light and colour brings warmth and immediacy to this intimate domestic scene, elevating everyday objects into a lively study of texture and form. Closely associated with the Impressionist circle, Guillaumin is renowned for his bold use of colour, and this work exemplifies his painterly approach to modern French still life.
