"Flowers in a Glass Vase on a Marble Table," Rachel Ruysch, 1690.
I've talked about Ruysch before, so she needs no introduction except maybe a reminder that she achieved international fame in her lifetime and is the best-documented artist of the period.
This is typical of her work; the flowers are meticulously rendered and could almost be scientific illustrations. At the same time, the mass of roses, irises, lilies, tulips, and others don't all bloom at the same time, so this bouquet is a piece of fantasy.
Flowers for Friday!
From a private collection.
