| Description |  |
Around 1850 Eugène Delacroix produced several large floral still lifes that gave the genre a new legitimacy. Gustave Courbet and Edouard Manet followed his lead in the 1860s, prompting many members of the Impressionist group to do likewise. Most of these paintings — by artists such as Pierre Auguste Renoir — celebrate the abundance of nature with brilliant color harmonies. Paul Cézanne also executed variations on this theme, showing floral compositions in the 1877 Impressionist exhibition.
