A still life by Jan van Kessel the Elder, this painting depicts a variety of flowers and butterflies arranged around a sculpted cartouche. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy are on full display.
Jan van Kessel the Elder, a Flemish artist born in Antwerp, was a member of a family of painters that included Jan Brueghel the Elder and Jan Brueghel the Younger. He is best known for small-scale, highly detailed paintings of subjects from the natural world. His meticulous technique and scientific accuracy made him a sought-after artist during his lifetime. This painting features a sculpted cartouche, around which a profusion of flowers and butterflies are arranged. Tulips, roses, and other blossoms are rendered with careful attention to their forms and colours. Butterflies flit among the flowers, adding a sense of movement and life to the composition. The dark background accentuates the brightness of the flowers and the delicate details of the insects. Van Kessel's work reflects the 17th-century interest in natural history and scientific observation, combined with an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
