Maurice Verneuil: Snowdrop Flower (c. 1890s) Art Nouveau Print

Invite the quiet elegance of late-winter blooms into your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features Maurice Verneuil’s 1890s masterpiece, a definitive study of the snowdrop in the Art Nouveau style.

In the 1890s, Maurice Verneuil was a leading figure in French decorative arts, often collaborating with Eugene Grasset. This Snowdrop study exemplifies his philosophy of 'L'ornementation par la plante' (Ornamentation through plants). Unlike traditional scientific illustrations, Verneuil’s work emphasizes the sinuous lines and organic symmetry that defined the Art Nouveau era. The Snowdrop, often the first flower to pierce through the snow, serves as a symbol of hope and purity. Verneuil captures this resilient beauty through a soft palette of whites and greens, turning a simple botanical observation into a sophisticated decorative pattern.

Verneuil's lithographs are known for their flat, matte colors and precise outlines. Our archival Giclée print is digitally mastered to preserve the delicate linework and the subtle, organic tones of the original 1890s plate. Printed on premium matte art paper, it ensures the crisp botanical details and vintage cream backdrop remain a serene focal point in your space."

A serene Statement Piece for a cottage-core bedroom, a bright sunroom, or a gallery wall dedicated to French Art Nouveau. This Verneuil Print is an exceptional gift for gardeners, botanists, and lovers of vintage French design.
