Boeket in glazen vaas c. 1680 - 1695

"Boeket in glazen vaas" is a black and white etching by Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, a renowned French artist known for his exquisite flower paintings. Created between 1680 and 1695, the artwork depicts a delicate bouquet of flowers arranged in a glass vase, showcasing the artist's masterful technique in rendering the subtle details and textures of the blossoms. Monnoyer's work exemplifies the flourishing of still-life painting in the Baroque era, where the beauty of everyday objects and natural wonders was celebrated with meticulous detail and intricate compositions. This etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, captures the essence of Monnoyer's artistic style and remains a testament to the enduring power of floral art.
