Ehemals Sammlung Richard König, Duisburg; seitdem Familienbesitz, Rheinland
Mit dem eng gefassten Bildrahmen und dem dunkel changierenden Hintergrund in Violett- und Blautönen setzt Emil Nolde seine an sich schlichte Zusammenstellung von farbenprächtigen Frühlingsblumen bühnenhaft in Szene. Die groß gesehenen Blüten - rundliche Tulpen in leuchtendem Gelb und trichterförmige, rot-weiß gestreifte Amaryllis - scheinen den Bildraum sprengen zu wollen und entfalten vor dem dunklen Fond ihre volle Strahlkraft. Wie immer in seinen Blumenaquarellen verpflichtete sich Nolde ganz der Farbgewalt und Formenvielfalt, die die Natur ihm bot, steigerte sie hier jedoch mit kompositorischen Mitteln zu einer dramatischen, betörenden Gesamtwirkung.

Provenance
Formerly Collection Richard König, Duisburg; in family possession since, Rhineland
With the narrowly defined framing of the picture and the darkly oscillating background in tones of violet and blue, Emil Nolde dramatically stages what is, in itself, a modest grouping of splendidly colourful spring flowers. The grandly seen flowers - rounded tulips in a luminous yellow and conical, red and white-striped amaryllis - seem to want to burst out of the pictorial space, and they unfold their full radiance before the dark ground. As always in his floral watercolours, Nolde has committed himself entirely to the chromatic power and diversity of forms offered to him by nature; here, however, he has used compositional means to intensify them to achieve a dramatic and mesmerising overall effect.
