Bouquet in a Chinese Vase ,ca. 1912–14, Odilon Redon, French. Historical artwork in public domain. Redon owned a variety of vases, which his wife, Camille, used in arranging the bouquets that formed the subject of his late still-life paintings. The delicately patterned white vessel depicted in this work appears in several other pictures, including The Met’s Vase of Flowers (Pink Background) of about 1906 (59.16.3). Title: Bouquet in a Chinese Vase Artist: Odilon Redon (French, Bordeaux 1840–1916 Paris) Date: ca. 1912–14 Medium: Oil on canvas Inscription: Signed (lower left): ODILON REDON Notes The vase depicted is believed to be the same one that appears in Flowers in a Chinese Vase (MMA 59.16.3; Wildenstein 1520), but from the other side.
