About the Item
This very nice drawing is a view of a romantic garden.
In the background, we see a high base topped by a statue of a 19th century figure along with other architectural ruins.
Central to the composition is a leafy tree with a leaning trunk.
The beautiful flowering iris plant in the foreground gave the drawing its title.
The iris has a very long history, as it was known even at the time of the ancient Egyptians and other ancient peoples.
It is well documented that in Europe the iris's rhizome was used as a linen perfume.
It was named for Iris, the Greek messenger of the gods, who according to Greek mythology, had wings of gold shining with dew, which when lit by the sun rays were decked with all the colors of the rainbow.
Also according to this legend, Iris was Juno's favourite goddess because she only bore good news.
Juno decided to reward her by turning her into the iris (the rainbow) which was said to be the link between heaven and earth.
Born on October 27, 1938, in Mostaganem, Gérard Diaz studied at the École des Beaux-arts of Oran from 1954 to 1957, and then at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts in Paris from 1957 to 1961. He has lived and worked in Paris since 1957, and he has taught at the École de Belle Arti de Rouen since 1971.
