Carnation Lily Lily Rose Print

Description

John Singer Sargent’s “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Lily, Rose”, completed between 1885 and 1886, is one of the most remarkable examples of British Impressionism. This painting celebrates the elegance of nature and the mesmerizing effect of atmospheric light. The artist depicts two little girls in a garden at dusk, lighting Japanese lanterns in their hands. The title of the painting was inspired by the flowers in the garden, carnations, lilies and roses.

The work is dominated by soft pastel tones and expressive light shadows.
Sargent managed to capture the moment just after sunset, masterfully depicting the warm hues of color that spread around the environment with the light of the lanterns.
The two little girls represent both innocence and nostalgia.

The children’s clothes reflect the elegant details of the Victorian era, enhancing the romantic atmosphere of the painting.

Importance of Nature

Flowers and greenery contribute to the natural and romantic atmosphere of the work.
Sargent’s observations on light and nature are presented with an impressionist approach.

Creation Process and Techniques

Sargent painted this work outdoors and only worked for a short period of time after sunset when the light was just right. This process took him nearly two summers to complete the painting. The light from the lanterns gives the work an inner brightness and clearly reveals Sargent’s impressionist influences.

Art History and Influence

“Carnation, Lily, Lily, Lily, Rose”, although influenced by the Impressionist movement of the period, also shows Sargent’s own style and technical mastery. Representing the aesthetic values of Victorian England, this work immortalized the fairytale beauty of an era.

Sargent’s painting was purchased by the Royal Academy of Arts in England and presented to the public. Today, the work is on display at Tate Britain in London and attracts great interest from art lovers.
