Painted between 1878 and 1879 while Georges Seurat was studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Vase of Flowers (Vase de fleurs) is one of the very few still life compositions created by the master before he developed Pointillism. Housed in the Harvard Art Museums, this rare early canvas shows Seurat exploring the vibrant color theories of Delacroix and the atmospheric lightness of Impressionism. Using rich, textured impasto and expressive brushwork, Seurat set a dense arrangement of colorful blossoms against a deep, luminous background, balancing classical structural equilibrium with fresh, living color.
