The roses is a 1926 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting shows a close-up of roses in full bloom. The flowers are pink and white, with green leaves and stems. They're set against a light blue background, which is visible through the gaps between the flowers. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, with thick layers of paint in some areas. The overall effect is one of softness and delicacy, despite the bold colors. If you like this painting, you might want to look up more works by Claude Monet.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
