Description from the seller
Bodegón de flores en jarrón sobre pedestal
Author: Anónimo.
School: Possibly Italian, of Baroque tradition.
Era: XVII–XVIII centuries (provisional attribution).
Technique: Oil painting on canvas, apparently frameless.
Measurements: 62 × 80 cm
Artistic description
Still life painting depicting an elaborate bouquet arranged in an ornate freestanding baluster vase, placed on a rocky surface.
The composition gathers various varieties of flowers, among them tulips, anemones, and other ornamental species in white, reddish, and pink tones, distributed asymmetrically to provide movement and naturalness to the ensemble.
What stands out is the treatment of the petals, the alternation of open flowers and buds, as well as the directed lighting that highlights the floral elements against a dark and neutral background.
The work presents characteristics of the European Baroque still-life tradition, with a vertical composition and a marked contrast of light and shadow.
