Jan van Huysum, Flower Still Life in a Sculpted Stone Vase, about 1718, National Galleries of Scotland @NatGalleriesScoThis extravagant bouquet is made up of flowers from different seasons such as different varieties of tulips and roses, and is also inhabited by butterflies and other insects. Jan van Huysum was the leading Dutch painter of flower-pieces in the 18th century. He received prestigious commissions from royal households and aristocrats around Europe. This is his largest painting on copper, a support he only occasionally used. It once formed part of the famous Czernin collection in Vienna. - Gallery Label -- source link
