Bouquet of Flowers in a Blue Vase
around 1608 | Jan Brueghel d. Ä.
Small stylistic changes in the “Vienna Bunch of Tulips”, as this painting is also called, in comparison with the “Flowers in a Wooden Vessel” (Inv.No. GG 570), allow us to date it as later than the latter. For the first time, a large rose blossom is intersected by stalks and eclipsed by another blossom. Particularly striking beneath the fiery tulips and flaming iris blossoms is the grey-blue-black mourning iris, a specimen rarely illustrated.
