{"product_id":"reveries-maxfield-parrish","title":"Reveries - Maxfield Parrish","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dreamlike scene by Maxfield Parrish, featuring two figures resting by a fountain, rendered with his signature luminous glazing technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReveries is a characteristic example of the work of Maxfield Parrish, an artist known for his mastery of light and colour. The composition depicts two figures resting near a stone fountain, surrounded by dense, shadowed foliage. Parrish employed a technique involving the application of multiple thin glazes of oil paint over a white base, which creates a luminous quality that appears to glow from within the surface of the work. This method allowed him to achieve the deep, saturated blues and warm, golden highlights that define his aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is constructed with a focus on atmosphere rather than strict realism. The figures are positioned in a quiet, contemplative state, mirroring the title of the piece. The surrounding trees and shrubbery are rendered with a high degree of detail, yet they remain subordinate to the overall mood of the image. Parrish often utilised photography and models to plan his compositions, ensuring that the interplay of light and shadow felt deliberate and balanced. His work frequently appeared in popular magazines and advertisements during the early twentieth century, which helped to popularise his distinct visual language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this particular work, the contrast between the cool, dark tones of the background and the warm, illuminated foreground draws the eye toward the central fountain. The precision of the brushwork and the careful layering of pigments result in a smooth, almost enamel-like finish. This approach to painting was highly technical, requiring patience and a precise understanding of how light interacts with transparent layers. The result is a dreamlike quality that remains a hallmark of his output. By focusing on the quiet interaction between the figures and their environment, Parrish invites the viewer to engage with the stillness of the moment, free from the distractions of a busy world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/souvenir-ditalie-jean-baptiste-camille-corot\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSouvenir d'Italie - Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot by Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/large-enclosure-caspar-david-friedrich\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLarge Enclosure by Caspar David Friedrich\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/maxfield-parrish\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Maxfield Parrish →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Maxfield Parrish","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59130959692111,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59130972045647,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59130972078415,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59130972111183,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59130972143951,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59130972176719,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59130972209487,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59130972242255,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59130972275023,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59130972307791,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59130972340559,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59130972373327,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Reveries_Poster_CompositorV1_1792108358042.jpg?v=1792132040","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/reveries-maxfield-parrish","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
