Mid-Century Impressionist Floral Still Life Painting by R. Delone

This is a mid-century impressionist oil painting on canvas featuring a vibrant floral still life, housed in a period-appropriate wood and linen frame. The composition depicts a dense bouquet of poppies or similar blossoms in shades of red, white, and yellow-gold, arranged within a pale, vertically striped vase. The background is a striking turquoise-blue with vertical white striations, suggesting a curtained window or wall. The technique utilizes heavy impasto, with thick palette knife or brush applications that create a tactile, three-dimensional texture on the petals. The work is signed 'R. Delone' in the lower right corner. The painting is set within a wide, beveled linen liner and an outer natural wood frame, a style typical of the 1960s to 1970s. Physically, the artwork appears to be in good vintage condition; however, there is visible yellowing and staining on the fabric linen liner, which is common for its age. The frame shows minor scuffing. This piece exemplifies the decorative mid-century modern aesthetic, prioritizing bold color and expressive high-relief texture over fine detail.
