Flowers in a Vase c. 1700

Philip van Kouwenbergh's "Flowers in a Vase", painted around 1700, is a classic example of Dutch still life. The painting features a vibrant array of flowers, including roses, tulips, and poppies, arranged in a terracotta vase. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lifelike depiction of the blooms and the interplay of light and shadow. Small details, like the snail crawling on the table below the vase, add a touch of realism to the composition. Van Kouwenbergh's works are known for their rich colors and masterful rendering of natural forms, making them a popular subject for art lovers.
