About the piece

Painted around 1892, Félix Ziem’s 'Flight of Pink Flamingos' is a masterpiece of atmospheric Impressionism. The work captures the luminous, hazy light of the Étang de Vaccarès in southern France, using a vibrant palette of coral, turquoise, and azure to depict a swirling mass of birds in motion. Ziem’s masterful brushwork creates a sense of shimmering air and water, making this a quintessential example of his late-19th-century style.
