Two roses on the bedspread by Edouard Manet

Two roses on the bedspread by Edouard Manet

“Roses – frost”. How badly this poetic rhyme is considered to be, and still without it – nowhere! How many times in centuries the rose has been glorified, how many poets and artists have been inspired by it and will most likely be inspired by more than once! And this theme will never be exhausted, just as the theme of love itself, the embodiment of which the rose serves. Of course, first of all, a red rose. Fire, passion, creative burning – these are the already traditional associations that a rose like a flower casts.

But the French impressionist painter Edouard Manet chose to paint, first, only two roses, and, second, yellow and white. So it is tempting to speculate in this connection about the symbolism of color: that, they say, yellow is the color of anxiety and sorrow, white is of purity and purity. It may be that the artist drew them together to create the effect of contrast. Or maybe he owned a completely different idea – to show how fragile and defenseless this beauty can be when cutting a stalk with a ruthless hand, when to throw flowers on the table and leave it without saving moisture.

Mane seemed deliberately not striving for a literal representation of reality. In this he is a typical impressionist. The flowers themselves are roses, and their petals are drawn as if they are trembling in space, their being is shaky and ephemeral.
