Still Life with Dahlias Mug - Delacroix

From the Minneapolis Institute of Art: Created in concert with the Friends of the Insitute for Art in Bloom 2022, this mug celebrates French artist Eugène Delacroix and the piece, Still Life with Dahlias, Zinnias, Hollyhocks and Plums, c. 1835.

Today, Eugène Delacroix is often discussed as a painter of North African or Middle Eastern scenes, and of events drawn from the Bible or from ancient Greek and Roman history and mythology. Yet his floral still-life paintings, though few in number, were some of his most influential works. They were seen as being focused on what Delacroix and his modern admirers considered the “abstract” side of painting—color, composition, and dazzling execution.
