A Bouquet of Chrysanthemums

Pictures by Auguste Renoir

Auguste Renoir's Bouquet of Chrysanthemums from 1881 bursts with white, gold and red blooms, with a toast inside to a year as bright and generous as the person receiving it. Renoir, the Impressionist painter of happy, sunlit scenes, often turned to flowers simply to play with colour. For someone whose birthday deserves a classic.
