About the Artist
Maurice Pillard Verneuil was a French designer and ornament theorist whose innovative approach helped define the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th century. Renowned for his botanical and zoological pattern studies, Verneuil aimed to inspire architects, illustrators, and artisans working in wallpaper, textiles, and book design.
By translating natural forms into decorative motifs, Verneuil elevated everyday plants and animals into sophisticated ornamentation. His work reflects a period when designers sought to harmonize art and nature, making his legacy central to the evolution of decorative arts.

The Artwork
This artwork, titled Eglantier, draws inspiration from the wild rose—a symbol beloved in the fin de siècle for its connection to gardens, poetry, and the beauty of everyday flora. Created as a model for applied arts, it provided a visual vocabulary for designers and artisans, influencing the look of wallpapers, fabrics, and interiors during the height of Art Nouveau.
As a vintage print, Eglantier embodies the era’s belief that design should be both functional and organic, reflecting nature’s vitality in decorative form. Pattern books like this circulated widely, shaping tastes and encouraging a new appreciation for botanical motifs in daily life.
Style & Characteristics
The composition features a stylized rose branch with arching stems, delicate blossoms, rounded fruits, and lush leaves, all arranged in a balanced, rhythmic pattern. Flat areas of soft green form the background, while pink and red accents highlight the petals and fruit, lending the piece a fresh, garden-inspired atmosphere.
Crisp outlines define each element, creating a sense of clarity and order characteristic of Art Nouveau design. The overall mood is both decorative and serene, making it an ideal choice for those seeking an elegant botanical art print with refined linework and harmonious color.
In Interior Design
This fine art print brings a sense of calm detail to bedrooms, hallways, reading nooks, or dining areas. Its floral geometry pairs beautifully with Art Nouveau and classic interiors, while also adding a touch of organic structure to minimalist spaces.
Combine it with warm neutrals, natural wood, brass, or cane furnishings, and echo its palette through sage textiles or blush ceramics. For a curated look, display it alongside other period pieces from our pink tone prints collection.
