Early 18th-Century Flemish School Still Life With Flowers & Vase

Early 18th-Century Flemish School Still Life With Flowers & VaseA sumptuous early 18th century still life depicting an abundant bouquet tumbling from a vase. The style, colouring, and composition remind us of the Flemish still life painter, Jan Baptist Bosschaert (1667 1746). So perhaps the artist was a follower or worked within his circle. Towards the end of the 17th century, Flemish still life painting began to show a preference for decorative presentation. Artists such as Bosschaert and Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen
