Birds & Wisteria Floral Art Nouveau Decorative Art Thermal Tumbler

Birds and Wisteria (1897) is an illustration from Animals in Decoration, created by the French artist Maurice Pillard Verneuil. The piece combines the elegance of birds with the delicate beauty of wisteria flowers, showcasing Verneuil’s mastery of nature-inspired design. The birds, gracefully perched among the cascading wisteria vines, evoke a sense of movement and tranquility. The detailed rendering of the wisteria flowers, with their drooping clusters, adds depth and fluidity to the composition. Verneuil, a prominent figure in the Art Nouveau movement, skillfully blends natural forms with decorative aesthetics, capturing the harmony between flora and fauna. This work reflects the late 19th-century fascination with organic shapes, intricate patterns, and the celebration of nature's beauty.
