Henri Matisse

description

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

Matisse painted this still life when he was staying in a hotel in Morocco. According to some art experts, this painting differs significantly from his previous works. The artist used bright, soft and dark colors. It seems like two worlds, real and mysterious, exist here side by side.
