About the piece

Painted in 1914, this early still life by Max Beckmann exhibits a masterful use of light and shadow. The vibrant white roses provide a luminous focal point, while the surrounding red blooms and deep, dark tones create a sense of mystery and depth. This piece exemplifies an elegant, moody aesthetic that bridges traditional and modern sensibilities.
