A stunning Art Nouveau lithograph of common pheasants by Maurice Pillard Verneuil, taken from 'L'animal dans la décoration', 1897. This print combines naturalistic detail with decorative stylisation, perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your home.

This striking lithograph, 'Faisans Ordinaires' (Common Pheasants), is by French artist Maurice Pillard Verneuil and dates to 1897. It comes from his publication 'L'animal dans la décoration' (The Animal in Decoration), a series showcasing stylised animal depictions for decorative purposes. Verneuil, a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau movement, was known for his designs for textiles, wallpapers, and other decorative arts. This print exemplifies his ability to blend naturalistic observation with decorative stylisation. The image features two common pheasants in a woodland setting. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the birds' plumage, rendered in rich shades of brown, gold, and black. The background, depicting a simplified forest scene, complements the pheasants without overpowering them. The composition is carefully balanced, with the birds positioned to create a sense of depth and movement. This print would make a sophisticated addition to any room, bringing a touch of fin-de-siècle elegance and natural beauty to your home. Its muted colour palette and intricate details make it a versatile piece that complements a range of interior styles.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Maurice Pillard Verneuil

Maurice Pillard Verneuil

Maurice Pillard Verneuil, a luminary of the Art Nouveau movement, possessed a rare ability to synthesise diverse influences into a singular, breathtaking style. Though perhaps not as widely celebrated as some of his contemporaries, Verneuil's impact on decorative arts is undeniable. He was a master of visual harmony, drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Japanese prints, medieval tapestries, and the natural world. Unlike some Art Nouveau artists who favoured asymmetry, Verneuil often embraced symmetry and repetition, creating patterns of mesmerising complexity and balance. Verneuil's talents extended beyond the purely aesthetic; he was also a dedicated educator. He shared his expertise at esteemed institutions like the École des Arts Appliqués, shaping the next generation of designers. His teachings emphasised the importance of understanding historical styles and adapting them to modern sensibilities. This commitment to both tradition and innovation is evident in his own creations, which range from wallpaper and textiles to jewellery and ceramics. For those seeking to infuse their spaces with timeless elegance, Maurice Pillard Verneuil offers a wealth of inspiration. His prints, with their intricate details and harmonious compositions, bring a touch of Parisian sophistication to any interior. Owning a Verneuil print is not just about acquiring a beautiful object; it's about embracing a legacy of artistic excellence and design innovation.
