Portrait of a Man Wreathed by Flowers c. 1650 - 1660

This 17th-century oil painting, "Portrait of a Man Wreathed by Flowers," is a striking example of a Dutch "floralia," or floral portrait, a genre popularized during the 1600s. The painting depicts a young man, framed within a wreath of lush, vibrant flowers. The composition is particularly interesting due to the inclusion of a cherub at the top, a detail seen often in allegorical imagery during the period. The artwork can be viewed at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
