Achille Lauge - Bouquet of Roses in a Glass


Achille Lauge (Arzens, August 29, 1861 – Cailhau, June 2, 1944) was a French painter. He attended the Fine Arts in Toulouse from 1876 to 1881, while he was doing an internship at a pharmacy in the city. Around 1905, noting the failure of the Pointillist technique that he had practiced for almost twenty years and pressed by want, he adopted a less strict and technical. This painting was sold by Sotheby's on May 8, 2008 for $97,000.

[Oil on canvas, 46 x 38.2 cm]
