In this context, Miró often turned toward dream imagery and nature-inspired symbolism as forms of creative liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"1014\"\u003eThe title itself reads like a surreal poem, immediately suggesting Miró’s close relationship with language, metaphor, and imagination. Rather than depicting a literal landscape, the painting presents a symbolic world where animals, plants, stars, and abstract forms coexist in a dreamlike environment. The snake becomes a fluid, transforming figure that winds across the composition, while poppies and violets evoke organic growth, sensuality, and fragility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003eMiró’s use of line is central to the painting. Thin black contours move freely across the surface, connecting colorful forms while creating rhythm and movement. Bright accents of red, blue, yellow, green, and black punctuate the composition against a more atmospheric background, generating visual tension between spontaneity and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1674\"\u003eThe work reflects Miró’s fascination with the cosmos and the natural world. Flowers, animals, celestial references, and biomorphic shapes become part of an interconnected symbolic universe. Although playful and whimsical on the surface, the painting also suggests regeneration and resilience in the aftermath of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1845\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Snake with Poppies Trailing over a Field of Violets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e demonstrates Miró’s ability to merge abstraction, poetry, and nature into a visual language that feels both intimate and universal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PrintsXXL","offers":[{"title":"canvas \/ 22''x16''(56x40)","offer_id":52995836576010,"sku":"195418","price":60.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 27''x19''(68x48)","offer_id":52995836608778,"sku":"195418","price":65.45,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 33''x23''(83x58)","offer_id":52995836641546,"sku":"195418","price":72.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 38''x27''(96x68)","offer_id":52995836674314,"sku":"195418","price":80.92,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 44''x31''(112x78)","offer_id":52995836707082,"sku":"195418","price":109.48,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"canvas \/ 50''x35''(127x88)","offer_id":52995836739850,"sku":"195418","price":132.09,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 22''x16''(56x40)","offer_id":52995836772618,"sku":"195418","price":55.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 27''x19''(68x48)","offer_id":52995836805386,"sku":"195418","price":60.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 33''x23''(83x58)","offer_id":52995836838154,"sku":"195418","price":70.21,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 38''x27''(96x68)","offer_id":52995836870922,"sku":"195418","price":76.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 44''x31''(112x78)","offer_id":52995836903690,"sku":"195418","price":102.34,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte photo paper \/ 50''x35''(127x88)","offer_id":52995836936458,"sku":"195418","price":122.57,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 22''x16''(56x40)","offer_id":52995836969226,"sku":"195418","price":52.36,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 27''x19''(68x48)","offer_id":52995837001994,"sku":"195418","price":9.52,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 33''x23''(83x58)","offer_id":52995837034762,"sku":"195418","price":66.64,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 38''x27''(96x68)","offer_id":52995837067530,"sku":"195418","price":72.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 44''x31''(112x78)","offer_id":52995837100298,"sku":"195418","price":98.77,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"fine art photo paper \/ 50''x35''(127x88)","offer_id":52995837133066,"sku":"195418","price":119.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0656\/9656\/3466\/files\/195418.jpg?v=1778001304","url":"https:\/\/printsxxl.com\/nl\/products\/joan-miro-the-snake-with-poppies-trailing-over-a-field-of-violets-1948","provider":"PrintsXXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
