Geranium is a 1827 by Henry Joseph Redouté, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a cluster of geranium flowers in soft pinks and deep reds. The petals are delicate, with light veins running through them. Leaves are broad and green, attached to thin stems that spread across the page. The artist focused on small details, like the tiny hairs on the petals and the way light hits the leaves. This kind of careful observation was common in the 1800s. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more of Redouté’s work in person.
