Original Description
Paul De Longpré's Still Life With Roses (c.1895-1910) exemplifies the artist's mastery as the "King of Roses" in American still-life painting. This luminous oil on canvas immerses viewers in an opulent cascade of fresh-cut roses tumbling from an ornate Chinese porcelain vase, their delicate petals rendered with botanical precision amidst dewdrops that sparkle with Impressionist spontaneity. Emerging during America's Gilded Age, De Longpré blended French academic realism with the emerging California Plein-Air movement, creating works that symbolized both aristocratic refinement and the burgeoning horticultural culture of his adopted Los Angeles home. Among the first artists to commercially reproduce floral prints, his paintings occupy a unique niche bridging fine art and decorative arts, influencing subsequent generations of floral painters while embodying the Aesthetic Movement's "art for art's sake" philosophy. The painting's harmonious balance between controlled detail and romantic abundance makes it a seminal work in transforming floral subjects from mere scientific illustration to vehicles of emotional resonance.
For contemporary spaces, this masterpiece commands attention best in formal living rooms or executive offices with traditional or transitional decor. The gilded frame complements interior moldings in cream or taupe hues, while the roses' coral-apricot tones pair elegantly with Sherwin-Williams' "Coral Rose" (SW 9007) or Benjamin Moore's "Georgia Peach" (216). Hang at eye level (57-60 inches from floor) above a mahogany console or carved mantel to create a focal point, ensuring 1.5 times the painting's width clearance from adjacent furniture. In smaller rooms, opt for museum-quality giclée reproductions scaled to 24"x36" – the original's typical dimensions (30"x40") require at least 8-foot ceilings. Cluster De Longpré's floral etchings nearby in brass frames to establish a curated gallery wall, or let it shine solo against grasscloth wallpaper for textural contrast. The painting's timeless elegance particularly enhances spaces featuring Louis XVI chairs or Chinoiserie accents that echo its porcelain vase motifs.
