Flower still lifes from The Mauritshuis

The Mauritshuis collection contains many flower still lifes. Here you will find articles inspired by De Heem, Vaas with flowers and Bosschaert, Vase with flowers in a window.

Compared to flower still lifes from the early 17th century, De Heem's work is a true flower explosion, and a colorful abundance of flowers hanging over the edge of the vase. A remarkable detail is the reflection in the glass bottle, where you can see the studio window with a cloudy sky and some objects in the windowsill.
