Gaia's Garden is an original oil on canvas painting by the European School (c. 1980), dated 1970–1980, from France, signed by hand, sold with frame, and measuring 111 x 85 cm (frame included).
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas.
- This oasis is offered as a felicissimo agreement between the organic neatness of naïf avant-garde—which evokes botanical candor and the vegetal fantasy of the Aduanero Rousseau—and the crystallization of the liberal spirit of Art Nouveau, whose sinuous whip-lines and elegant spirals of dark stems articulate space with a nearly calligraphic ease. The whole ensemble pulses at once with the density of Botticelli’s quattrocento meadows and gardens, where each botanical species—from pristine petaled lilies to exotic tiger-striped corollas and golden ears grouped in rhythmic fans—arranges itself as an allegorical and lyrical catalog on a watercolor background that soothes the horizon. It is an idealized and vibrant vegetation that turns nature into a stage of rhythm, chromatic exuberance, and purely contemplative enjoyment.
- Image dimensions without frame: 98 x 72 cm / 111 x 85 cm with exclusive custom frame.
