Richard Mayol (1896–1972)
Still Life with Oranges and White Peonies, 1949
Oil on canvas | Signed and dated lower left | 68 × 77.5 cm
A striking and richly coloured still life by Richard Meinl Mayol (1896–1972), depicting a vibrant arrangement of ripe oranges and magnificent white peonies, set against a dramatic deep red background.
Signed “Mayol” and dated 1949 in the lower left corner, the painting represents a particularly appealing example of the artist's work in the genre of still life. The composition brings together the freshness of fruit and the delicate exuberance of flowers, creating a harmonious balance between colour, form and atmosphere.
The painting is distinguished by its bold and sophisticated colour palette. The intense vermilion and crimson-red background provides a dramatic setting for the luminous white peonies, while the warm orange tones of the fruit create a vivid focal point. Deep greens in the foliage, together with blue and turquoise accents in the vessels and cooler tones of the textile, provide an elegant chromatic counterpoint and considerable visual depth.
The arrangement is carefully structured: the abundant peonies rise dynamically from the centre of the composition, while the oranges are distributed across the table, leading the eye naturally through the scene. A striking blue vessel adds an additional architectural element, contrasting beautifully with the warm red ground.
Mayol's confident handling of oil paint, colour and texture gives the work a distinctive painterly presence. The visible brushwork and subtle variations of tone lend the flowers, fruit and fabrics a sense of vitality, while the theatrical red background enhances the intimate yet dramatic character of the composition.
Richard Mayol (1896–1972) was a Romanian painter whose oeuvre includes portraits, floral compositions and still lifes. His works are represented in the Romanian art market and have appeared at auction, with still-life compositions forming an important part of his artistic output.
