Framed Apricot Orange Prints
Back in the day, oranges and other tropical fruits were regarded as exotic by Europeans and for centuries they were referred to as Chinese apples. Alchemists and artists were equally fascinated by this color and the framed Apricot Orange Prints at FramedArt.com explains this enthusiasm.
The images are beaming with life and energy, regardless of the things or natural landscape that they depict and will become the focal point of attention in any room.
For quite a while, the color had no name, but this didn’t prevent the artists from using it in paintings and it was the preferred choice for autumn themes. The number of framed Apricot Orange Prints crafted at the end of the 19th century is greater, as orange was celebrated by impressionist artists. Monet started the revolution and his example was followed by Klimt and Leighton, with the latter painting the beautiful Flaming June in 1895. The sleeping lady is fascinating and the long orange dress is the cornerstone of the entire painting, in stark contrast with the dull colors used.
Those who prefer to stick to the classics will be thrilled to find out that there are framed Apricot Orange paintings authored by Auguste Renoir or Paul Cezanne. They painted boats with orange stripes and celebrated the beauty of nature, usually at noon and almost always during the summer. Toulouse Lautrec preferred to depict people dressed in orange clothes going about their daily activities, or radiating happiness and energy through their dances.
