Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom.
Sargent’s inspiration for the painting came during his boat trip with Abbey in the summer of 1885 — specifically, on a stretch of the Thames at Pangbourne. There, one evening, they passed a garden filled with lilies, which also had Chinese lanterns hanging from its trees.
During his stay at Farnham House, the Millets’ Broadway abode, Sargent began work on a picture of two girls in white summer dresses. They are seen in a bountiful garden amid roses, carnations and a mass of white lilies. It is a twilit summer’s evening, and the girls are in the process of lighting the latest of several paper lanterns.
Broadway was something of an artists’ and writers’ colony, one that attracted — as well as Millet — the likes of Alfred Parsons, Frederick Barnard, Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Edmund Gosse. Barnard’s two daughters, Dolly (aged 11) and Polly (seven), would serve as the models for Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose.
Our artists reproduce this still life composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes still life oil painting so sought after for a bedroom.
Materials matter for realist wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
Style it over a fireplace, behind a reading chair, or along a staircase. Wherever it goes, this realist oil painting wall decor adds the layered color that only a hand painted canvas provides.
