Floral Arrangement in a Glass Vase - Dutch Old Master still life oil painting

Circa 1720

About the Item

This stunning 18th century Dutch Old Master Golden Age floral oil painting is attributed to a circle of Simon Pietersz Verelst. Painted circa 1720 it is a still life floral of a mixed flower arrangement in a glass vase. The flowers include poppies, roses and dahlias a long with foliage. A delicate white butterfly hovers in the upper middle. A bent stem of red sweet peas hangs down to the left, perhaps to remind us that life isn’t perfect and is certainly temporary, so seize the day. The colours and still vibrant and the details superb. This is a really beautiful example of an 18th century Dutch floral still life oil painting.

  • De Wit Flowers Still life Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Cupids Art
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Jacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...
