Catalan or Valencian school, late 17th century. "Still life of flowers". Oil on canvas. Re-drawn. Restorations. Lack of polychromy. Frame with woodworm. Probably, it was a painting of overdoor. Measurements: 81 x 64,5 cm. An elegant vase decorated with gilded bronze gallons holds a variety of floral species: roses, carnations, daisies... which combine their beautiful corollas in a somewhat anarchic and wild way. The open curtain and the framing based on fluted pilasters lend a certain theatricality to the scene, as if it were an aristocratic portrait. The vase rests on a velvet cloth. This emphasis on staging is characteristic of the Baroque period in which the painting is set. The painter has paid great attention to the precise description of each flower and each of its petals, a detail that is also evident in the painstaking rendering of the textures and qualities of the bronze and marble. The format and subject of the painting suggest that it could have been a still life for a door or window.
