Description
The work "Irises 3 - 1917" by Claude Monet is a revelation within the corpus of the master Impressionist and one of the last series he painted in his long career. The painting, as its own title indicates, focuses on the Iris, a flower that Monet had cultivated and revered throughout his life, especially in his garden in Giverny. This work, carried out in a period in which the artist faced health problems and signs of the inevitable proximity of death, remains a vibrant testimony of its aesthetic splendor and its continuous search for light and color.
Visually, the composition of "Irises 3" is impressive, capturing a moment in time where nature unfolds in a dance of nuances and shapes. Through a bold use of color, Monet creates a vibrant and almost dreamlike atmosphere. The Iris, in their lushness, are arranged anarchically, although balanced in the painting, which suggests the joy and exuberance that Monet found in nature. The rich tones of purple and violet of flowers contrast with a more dim background, where other colors are hinted at a suggestive and almost abstract redendering. This use of color generates a feeling of depth and texture, almost as if each brushstrokes vibrate with the reality of the contemplative moment that the master I wanted to transmit.
On the canvas, there are no human characters who cite the viewer's attention, something that reflects Monet's dedication to the understanding of the natural world without the interference of the human figure. This choice allows visual experience to focus on nature itself and the feelings that evoke iris. The presence of flowers turns out to be an allegory of life itself: ephemeral, but dazzling in its moment of splendor.
Monet, known for its technical innovation, reveals a notable domain of light in this work, which is particularly evident in the representation of shadows and reflexes. The way in which iris seem almost vibrate thanks to the use of vibrant color, combined with loose brushstrokes and light vaults, is a distinctive mark of the impressionist style. His interest in changes in light throughout the day and stations is evident in this work, which preserves an elusive sense of movement and transformation.
The work culminates Monet's legacy in the exploration of nature and its relationship with light, linking its personal vision with the tradition of impressionism, which focused on subjective visual experience. Comparing it with other of his contemporary works, such as "Neenufares" and "Tuileries Garden", we see a constant evolution in its way of capturing the essence of nature, even when "Irises 3" stands out for its unique approach in one type of flower, which allows a deeper exploration of its beauty.
"Irises 3 - 1917" It is not only a reminder of the master that Claude Monet was, but also a testimony of the universality of beauty in everyday life. As their brushes give life to these flowers, they invite us to reflect on the fragility of the existence and perennity of beauty that art can capture. The work is, ultimately, a celebration of color, the shape and moment that, despite being a captured moment, seems timeless in its message.
