En vase med blomster 1816 - 1837

"En vase med blomster" is a still life oil painting by Danish artist Hanne Hellesen, created between 1816 and 1837. The work, now in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a vibrant bouquet of assorted flowers, including roses, poppies, and lilies, arranged in a dark-colored vase on a marble pedestal. Hellesen’s masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, drawing the viewer's eye into the intricate details of the flowers. This painting is a testament to Hellesen's skill as a still life painter, and her ability to capture the beauty and fragility of nature.
