Still Life with Yellow Roses, Emil Carlsen
On Google Art Project. Hi-res downloadable file on Wikimedia Commons. Original is in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, which doesn’t appear to have an image online.
I wish more of Carlsen’s beautifully painterly still life paintings were available in high resolution. For now, I’ll just be glad a few are online. Here’s another on GAP, and my previous Eye Candy post about one in the National Gallery, DC. There is also one online at the Met.
I’ll do a proper post on Carlsen soon.

The meaning of yellow roses.
Yellow (My Mother’s fave colour): Friendship, Joy, Get Well

Just saw this one at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. In all its glorious lack of contrast and saturation, this small work glowed amongst the salon-hung wall of maybe 50 paintings from the collection. I jotted myself a note to try to find a good monograph of his paintings. And then of course….here you are already doing the research! Please do let us all know more about Soren Emil Carlsen.
Beautiful. Thanks, Thomas.
I’m working on it.
Check out, the awesome couleur of Andy Murray’s shirt at Roland Garros. Jaune!
