About the Item
A very refined and delicate oil on canvas by Fernando García Camoyano depicting an elaborate bouquet of flowers, including large white and pink peonies, as well as other smaller flowers in warm colors. All are arranged on a dark canvas, full of folds that add depth and contrast to the composition. Furthermore, the composition is framed by a thick gold border, which seems to simulate a window frame or opening through which the fabric enveloping the flowers protrudes slightly, creating a trompe l'oeil effect, as if it were emerging from the frame itself. This work manifests its theatrical character. The rich floral composition emerges dramatically from the darkness, directly illuminated, thus creating an effect of depth and emphasizing the contrast of light and shadow.
It exhibits the characteristic style of the genre to which it belongs, as it is, after all, a still life, realistic and meticulous, which gradually gained prominence in the history of art. The great artist Caravaggio (1573-1610) was one of the first artists to depict still lifes with the awareness of them as works of art, but many others employed this technique at some point in their careers. With origins in antiquity and very popular in Western art since the 17th century, the still life gives the artist more compositional freedom than other pictorial genres such as landscape or portraiture. Before 1700, still lifes often contained religious and allegorical symbolism related to the objects they depicted. Also known as nature morte, they typically feature animals, flowers, fruits, food, plants, and so on. Their development is part of a growing appreciation for painting and a surge of interest in naturalism and the imitation of nature that began to develop at the end of the previous century.
Fernando García Camoyano (1867-1930), known as "The Painter of Flowers," was a Spanish painter and draftsman born in Badajoz. From a young age, he began his artistic training, first in Badajoz under the tutelage of Felipe Checa y Delicado, and later in Seville with Manuel de la Rosa Sampedro, where he completed his formal education.
Throughout his career, Camoyano actively participated in important national and international exhibitions. In 1887 and 1890, he presented his works at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid, marking the beginning of his career in the national art scene. From 1892 onwards, he became known internationally, obtaining an honorable mention at the International Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid, and winning medals at events such as the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893.
