Biographical Details |
Albert-Tibulle Furcy de Lavault 1847 - 1915 Mixed Spring Flowers Oil on canvas 26 x 32 Inches Albert-Tibulle Furcy de Lavault was born in Saint Genis, France in 1847. He was a still life painter often including fruit in his arrangements but he is best known for his flower painting. He was exhibited widely in France, often at the Paris Salon and the Dijon Salon. He was also the curator at the Musée de la Rochelle from 1882 to 1913. The middle classes in France and elsewhere were reaping the benefits of the industrial revolution and their appetite for flower paintings was ever increasing. This encouraged a wealth of artists to study still-life painting and Furcy de Lavault was no exception. Garden flowers were very fashionable in Paris and in this magnificent example by Furcy de Lavault we see a beautiful arrangement of mixed spring flowers. |
