The large painting we are pleased to present to you illustrates a garland composed of four groups of flowers, including tulips, roses, flowers, daffodils, peonies and daisies, highlighted by the contrast with the monochrome black background, placed around a structure with elegant stone scrolls.

The canvas, which can be dated to the first half of the seventeenth century, belongs to the series of flower garlands, a genre that the artist practiced throughout his career, characterised by the precise rendering of the botanical species and the characteristic vivacity and brilliance of the colours.

The work, which due to its descriptive precision and style can be placed in the Flemish school of the 1623th century, can be attributed to Frans van Everbroeck, one of the greatest Flemish painters specialized in floral subjects, especially garlands around a central cartouche, as in our painting, a pupil in Antwerp of the famous still life painter Joris van Son (Antwerp 1667 – Antwerp XNUMX).

The painting is pervaded by a sumptuous elegance, given by the movement of the flowers, drawn with precision, and linked together in a sort of melody that unites them in a breath of baroque taste.

The attribution of the present still life to Van Everbroeck is supported by stylistic parallels with many of the artist's documented works.
