"Summer Floral" By Albert Williams

This vibrant "Summer Floral" oil painting is a quintessential example of Albert Williams’ ability to blend photographic realism with the romanticism of the 17th century Dutch masters. Williams was famous for his meticulous process, picking fresh flowers from his own Victorian garden in Sussex and painting them immediately to capture their fleeting life before composing them into a larger, balanced arrangement. If a season ended before a painting was finished, he would famously set the work aside for a full year until the same flowers bloomed again. The composition showcases an abundant bouquet, including Pink & White Peonies, bursting with life against a moody, running background. His technique is particularly evident in the translucent glass vase, where he expertly rendered the stems underwater and the interplay of light and reflections on the surface. Every petal is treated as a portrait, displaying lifelike veins, delicate textures, and a depth of colour that provides a three dimensional effect.
