Vert‑Vert is an oil painting made in 1804 by French artist François Fleury‑Richard. It depicts an interior scene, rendered in oil on canvas. The work takes its name from the parrot hero of Jean‑Baptiste Gresset’s 1734 poem “Vert‑Vert ou le Voyage du Perroquet de Nevers.” The painting has been part of the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon’s collection since 1820.
