Artwork description
Claude Monet · Vétheuil · 1880 · W629
A tall bouquet of yellow Jerusalem artichokes overflows largely from a white cylindrical vase. The dark green stems and leaves unfold in front of a background of vertical blue, pink and cream touches; on the round table, a darker vegetable or textile crown surrounds the container. Signed and dated 1880, this oil on canvas measuring 99.6 × 73 cm is kept in the National Gallery of Art under number 1963.10.181 and corresponds to Wildenstein 629.

Look at the work
The vase is placed just to the left of the central axis and serves as an anchor point. From its narrow neck, the stems spread out in a fan shape; some flowers are seen from the front, others in profile or almost turned over. This variety prevents the yellow mass from forming a symmetrical crown.
The petals combine lemon yellow, gold and orange around darker centers. The leaves mix emerald, blue and black green. The light background crosses the spaces of the bouquet and reappears in the vase, maintaining air despite the abundance of flowers.
Monet treats still life with outdoor mobility: no flower is isolated by an outline, but each exists by the direction and temperature of its keys.
Composition, touch and light
Three precise elements allow us to understand this composition and the essential difficulties of faithful reproduction.
Jerusalem Jerusalem artichoke, or Jerusalem artichoke, belongs to the genus Helianthus. Its yellow flower heads and long stems allow Monet to build a very tall still life, both compact and radiant.
The almost cylindrical white shape receives few details. Its stability, narrow edge and light surface bring out the complexity of the leaves without competing with the bouquet.
Salmon pink, turquoise, denim blue and creamy white descend behind the flowers. These bands return to the direction of the stems while providing luminous intervals between the leaves.
Reference image
The single image comes from the open scan of the National Gallery of Art. The source file of 2899 × 4000 px is limited to 2174 × 3000 px then encoded as a real WebP.
The bouquet should remain wider at the top, but without symmetry. The isolated flowers on the sides and the protruding stems give the whole thing its natural momentum.
Lemon, gold and orange distinguish the flower heads and indicate their orientation. A single yellow would transform the floral material into a flat silhouette.
This area connects the container to the table and balances the greens of the bouquet. Too clear, it would become an autonomous decorative object; too weak, the vase would seem to float.
Documented benchmarks
The National Gallery of Art documents Jerusalem Artichoke Flowers, oil on canvas from 1880, 99.6 × 73 cm, inventory 1963.10.181 and catalog Wildenstein 629.
Mr. Cahuzac lent the painting to the seventh impressionist exhibition, where it appeared under number 57. The historical French title precisely identifies the bouquet.
The signature and date are at the bottom right. Their color responds to the orange accents of the flowers and the warm touches of the table.
The painting was notably passed by Georges de Bellio, the Prince of Wagram and Durand-Ruel. Chester Dale purchased it in 1929 and bequeathed it to the National Gallery in 1963.

Presentation in your interior
This large vertical composition brings a solar accent to a dining room, entrance or bedroom. A gray blue, sage green or earth pink wall and a dark wood frame highlight the yellows without reducing the depth of the leaves.
