A Bowl of Flowers 1672 - 1708

"A Bowl of Flowers" is a still life painting by the Flemish artist Elias van den Broeck, created between 1672 and 1708. This detailed artwork, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, features a lush arrangement of flowers, including white roses and red blossoms, meticulously rendered against a dark background. The inclusion of two green grasshoppers, perched on the leaves, adds an element of realism and emphasizes the delicate balance between nature and art. Van den Broeck's mastery of light and shadow further enhances the painting's depth and visual impact.
