Buton d'or (buttercup) from La Plante et ses Applications ornementales (1896) by Maurice Pillard Verneuil. Giclee Print on Museum Quality Matte Paper. Premium Wood Framed Wall Art.

Maurice Pillard Verneuil's "Buton d'or (Buttercup)" from *La Plante et ses Applications Ornementales* (1896) stands as a quintessential example of Art Nouveau's embrace of organic forms and nature-inspired motifs. Verneuil, a prominent figure in the late 19th-century decorative arts, was deeply influenced by the burgeoning Art Nouveau movement, which sought to break away from historical styles and embrace natural beauty and fluidity.

Born in 1869 in Saint-Quentin, France, Verneuil was a student of Eugène Grasset, a pioneering figure in decorative arts. His career flourished during a time when industrialization was transforming society, and there was a growing appreciation for the aesthetic value of nature. Verneuil's work, including "Buton d'or," is characterized by its intricate patterns, bold lines, and vivid colors, reflecting a philosophical approach that celebrated the harmony between nature and art.

In "Buton d'or," Verneuil employs lithography to capture the delicate yet vibrant essence of the buttercup. The piece is both a study of the plant's form and an exploration of its ornamental potential. The artwork exemplifies the Art Nouveau genre, where the subject matter—nature—is stylized to emphasize its decorative qualities. Verneuil's technique involves meticulous attention to detail and a seamless integration of form and function.

This piece is significant for its role in illustrating how natural elements can be transformed into decorative art, influencing subsequent generations of designers. The original is currently held in private collections and is celebrated for its contribution to the evolution of decorative arts.
