Still life with flowers
Oil on panel 33 x 25 cm In frame 50 x 42 cm
The painting depicts a wonderful still life of flowers, where numerous colourful buds are gathered in a large vase placed on a shelf: bluebells, tulips, hyacinths, anemones and other species make up the bouquet, skilfully placed against a dark background to highlight the sinuous shapes of the stems, leaves and, above all, the bright, dazzling colours of the petals.
The work highlights the skill of a talented painter who trained in the prestigious Flemish tradition of the 17th century, although at the same time, the decisive execution and sensitivity to light reveal a typically Mediterranean verve, which is evident in the soft and balanced harmonies of the bright colours of the buds.
The artist displays all his Baroque exuberance and Nordic talent for the precise description of various types of flowers, influenced, however, by Roman still life painting of the second half of the 17th century. Nor should we forget the exceptional pictorial tradition of the Brueghel family dynasty, which our painter expresses with absolute mastery and modernity, particularly in his innovative conception of scene and light, which brilliantly outlines the forms and embellishes the tones.
