Description
Jan van Huysum's sumptuous flower and fruit paintings are renowned for their botanical accuracy and innovative arrangements. This book explores two of his most important still-life works, Vase of Flowers and Fruit Piece, both in the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum.
Executed in 1722, these paintings showcase Van Huysum's technique, which combined flowers and fruits that flourished at different times of the year into a single bouquet. He worked directly from nature, animating the arrangements with crawling insects and butterflies to create an illusionism that continues to captivate us today.
This book offers a detailed look at two of Van Huysum's most significant works, providing insight into his artistic innovations and the enduring appeal of his flower and fruit paintings.
