Name: Still Life with Flowers in a Glass Vase
SKU: 20786

THE PRINT

The floral paintings of Jan Davidsz de Heem celebrate the beauty of flora while also exemplifying the concept of Ars longa, vita brevis (art is long, life is short) embodied in the Dutch still life paintings of the seventeenth century. De Heem was one of the most gifted, versatile, and influential still life artists of his age. His refined technique allowed him to portray a great variety of textures that captured the very essence of objects, including the petals of exotic flowers; long bent reeds of wheat; minute creatures such as butterflies, ants, snails, and caterpillars; and the reflective surfaces of glass. In this work, De Heem creates a harmonious arrangement by balancing the colours and shapes of many types of flowers. De Heem often included specific animals and flowers in his work for their symbolic meaning.
