Description
CARLO VARESE (1903–1977) “Bouquet of Marigolds”, 1929
Oil on panel, H. 77 cm × W. 66 cm. Depiction of a vase of orange-toned flowers against a dark background. Signed lower right, dated on the reverse.
This work, painted in 1929, illustrates Varese’s mastery of chiaroscuro and his penchant for floral still lifes with striking contrasts — warm colour harmonies, precise brushwork, and light concentrated on the floral motif in the tradition of the great masters. A Milanese painter trained in the tradition of Italian Post-Impressionism, Carlo Varese (1903–1977) distinguished himself through a pronounced sensitivity to colour and a technical rigour recognised by his contemporaries. This ‘Bouquet of Marigolds’ was awarded a gold medal at the Bologna Exhibition in 1929, a testament to the high regard in which the artist was held in Italian artistic circles between the two world wars.
