Bouquet and Park Landscape
first half 18th century | Jan van Huysum
In the 18th century, Jan van Huysum continued the long tradition of the Dutch floral still life, taking a wealth of various flowers and fusing them into a painterly whole. While the depiction of the individual shapes is virtuoso, the smoothness and perfection make it all so cool that the viewer remains emotionally unattached, despite the painterly brilliance.
