A meticulously rendered floral still life by Jan van Kessel the Elder, featuring a variety of flowers in a glass vase, accompanied by butterflies and insects. The painting showcases the artist's detailed technique and interest in the natural world.
Jan van Kessel the Elder, a Flemish artist born in Antwerp, was a member of the famous Brueghel family. He is best known for small-scale, highly detailed paintings of subjects from the natural world. This still life exemplifies his meticulous technique and interest in scientific observation. The painting depicts a variety of flowers, including roses, tulips, and an iris, arranged in a glass vase. The vase rests on a stone plinth, providing a stable base for the elaborate arrangement. Butterflies and other insects are scattered throughout the composition, adding to the sense of naturalism and detail. The dark background contrasts with the bright colours of the flowers, creating a dramatic effect. Van Kessel's precise brushwork captures the textures and forms of each element, from the delicate petals of the flowers to the translucent wings of the insects. The composition reflects the 17th-century interest in both scientific accuracy and decorative display.

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.
