Jean-François Garneray (1755–1837)
Jean-François Garneray was born in 1755. He was one of the few pupils of David (who, at one point in his career, painted flowers). Although he was primarily a portrait and interiors artist, Garneray depicted flowers, especially towards the end of his career. He was in fact one of the main precursors of non-specialised flower artists who appeared around the middle of the century and who would become more and more numerous.
Lilac in a Glass with Three Feet
Edouard Manet, 1882
Oil on canvas, 27 × 21 cm
Galerie R. Schmit, Paris
Although his compositions are a little disordered, the few canvases depicting flowers are magnificent and showcase the artist’s technical skills. Colour never takes second place to drawing and a sort of mysterious grandeur emanates from these paintings. His Museum of Tours bouquet is mid-way between a still life and a depiction of exuberant life due to his usage of bright colours. Garneray died in 1837.
