Still Life, Flowers in a Vase 1763

"Still Life, Flowers in a Vase" (1763) by Jean-Baptiste-Simeon Chardin depicts a simple yet elegant arrangement of flowers in a blue and white porcelain vase. The artist's masterful brushstrokes capture the delicate textures of the blossoms and the subtle play of light on the vase. This painting is a prime example of Chardin's signature style, characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the depiction of everyday objects with an air of quiet dignity. The painting is currently located in the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh.
