Precisely rendered to dazzle the eye with their botanical accuracy,
the sumptuous arrays of fruit and flowers by Dutch painter Jan van
Huysum (1682-1749) were among the most avidly collected paintings
of the 18th century. The arrangements were painstakingly executed
over many months and commanded exceptionally high prices from
collectors throughout Europe. This delightful little book explores
two of Van Huysum's most important still-life paintings, "Vase of
Flowers" and "Fruit Piece", showing how his inimitable technique
resulted in an illusion that continues to captivate us today. The
book's sumptuous plates reveal the artist's highly nuanced palette,
and his exuberant, asymmetrical arrangements reflect emerging
rococo rhythms.
