Fleurs is a 1875 oil by Adolphe Joseph Thomas Monticelli, a Impressionism work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting shows a vase filled with a bouquet of flowers. The flowers are white and pink, with some green leaves. They are arranged in a loose, organic way, with some stems and petals visible. The vase is dark-colored and has a wide mouth. The background of the painting is a solid dark color. The flowers are painted in thick, heavy brushstrokes, with visible texture and impasto. The overall effect is one of lushness and abundance. The painting is quite dark, with deep shadows and rich colors. The Norton Simon Museum has many beautiful paintings like this one.
