Bouquet of Flowers in a Glass Vase
Part of the Art Through Time Collection, Bouquet of Flowers in a Glass Vase is a masterfully composed Dutch still life by Ambrosius Bosschaert, painted in 1621. Set against a sombre background, a profusion of blossoms including tulips, iris, roses, grape hyacinth and delicate lily-of-the-valley — rises from a clear glass vase, each petal and leaf rendered with crystalline precision. A damselfly and a butterfly animate the scene, more than decorative details they signal life’s fleeting presence amid botanical splendour. This work is widely celebrated as an early example of northern European floral painting, where scientific curiosity and painterly flair combine to create both decorative beauty and a subtle meditation on time and abundance.
Prints include the print only and do not come with a frame.
