Titled simply *The Vase of Flowers*, this work belongs to the still life tradition, in which a bouquet becomes the whole subject. Flower painting flourished in the Netherlands and Flanders in the 1600s, when collectors prized images of blooms that could never appear together in a single garden because each opens in a different season. Painters often gathered such flowers into one arrangement and added a dewdrop, an insect or a fallen petal as a quiet reminder that beauty fades. Look closely at how light moves across the petals and the vase to see the care that went into the composition.
