A Hanging Bouquet of Flowers c. 1665 - 1670

Abraham Mignon's "A Hanging Bouquet of Flowers" (c. 1665 - 1670) is a quintessential example of Dutch still life painting. This exquisitely detailed oil painting showcases a vibrant collection of flowers, including a prominent pink rose, a delicate white hydrangea, and a striking red tulip. Mignon's meticulous brushwork captures the texture and form of each blossom, rendering a sense of life and fragility in the arrangement. The use of a dark background creates a dramatic contrast and emphasizes the vibrant hues of the bouquet.
