Edgar Maxence

Edgar Maxence (1871-1954) was an academically trained French painter best known for his symbolist depictions of scenes from religious life and ancient myths; however, in later life he produced florals influenced by Impressionism. They were discovered hidden away in his studio after his death.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This is a collection of favorite still life paintings I've found over the years. I have a particular interest in the oil medium, but occasionally include works in other media, even the odd photo of a nice vase or flower. I hope it will provide a resource for still life painters and art lovers.

There are a few paintings of interiors, and some botanical paintings, which are not really classified as still life, but they fit better here than in my landscape or figurative painting blogs (see links).
