About this artwork
Painted in 1606 in the Netherlands, this small still life shows a bouquet of flowers in a glass. Ambrosius Bosschaert worked in oil on copper, and he gave the blooms luminous colour and exquisite detail that bring out their fragile beauty. The flowers may look familiar to us now, but in the 1600s they were costly rarities. Bosschaert was one of the first artists to specialise in flower painting, and he may have drawn inspiration from the botanical gardens and scientific collections of his hometown, Middelburg. The work is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art.
On your wall: Its floral subject and luminous colours suit a quiet corner of a living room, a dining room, a hallway or a study where close detail can be enjoyed.

About Ambrosius Bosschaert
Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder was a Flemish-born Dutch painter of still lifes who also worked as an art dealer. He is regarded as one of the first artists to treat floral still life as a genre in its own right. He founded a family of painters who carried on his flower and fruit painting, helping make Middelburg the Dutch Republic's leading centre for flower painting.
