Flowers against an open background

Large Green Vase with Mixed Flowers gathers small, varied blooms above a dark green vessel. The surrounding space allows the individual colours and shapes to remain distinct. Other bouquets change the scale of the flowers, the vessel and the background, ranging from compact arrangements to more spreading growth.

Faces turned inward

Closed Eyes presents a quiet head above an indistinct surrounding space. The closed eyelids shift attention away from an outward encounter towards the stillness of the face itself. Religious figures and other imagined subjects elsewhere in the collection offer related ways of separating a figure from an ordinary setting.

Butterflies and imagined nature

Butterflies brings winged forms above a cluster of bright, flower-like shapes beneath an open sky. Such works sit between a recognisable natural subject and a freely imagined arrangement of colour. Explore flower art for other approaches to blooms and natural forms.

Related artists and collections

Compare Redon’s imagery with Gustave Moreau and Hugo Simberg. Their collections provide different treatments of imaginative figures and symbolic scenes. The broader mythology and religion collection and Post-Impressionist art offer further routes through these subjects.
