A pink carnation, a white rose, and a yellow tulip with red stripes lie in front of a basket of brilliantly colored flowers. Various types of flowers that would not bloom in the same season appear together here: roses, forget-me-nots, lilies-of-the-valley, a cyclamen, a violet, a hyacinth, and tulips. Rendering meticulous detail, Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder conveyed the silky texture of the petals, the prickliness of the rose thorns, and the fragility of opening buds. Insects crawl, alight, or perch on the bouquet. Each is carefully described and observed, from the dragonfly's transparent wings to the butterfly's minutely painted antennae. Although a vague reference, insects, short-lived like flowers, are a reminder of the brevity of life and the transience of its beauty.
A rising interest in botany and a passion for flowers led to an increase in painted floral still lifes at the end of the 1500s in both the Netherlands and Germany. Bosschaert was the first great Dutch specialist in fruit and flower painting and the head of a family of artists. He established a tradition that influenced an entire generation of fruit and flower painters in the Netherlands.

Select a art print material variant
We offer a range of different sizes and materials for every product. The following sizes and materials are the options we offer you for individualization:
- Canvas: The canvas print, which should not be mistaken with a painting on a canvas, is a digital copy printed on a UV direct printing machine. A canvas creates the extra look of three-dimensionality. Furthermore, a canvas creates a familiar and positive impression. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight. This means, it is easy to hang up your Canvas print without the use of additional wall-mounts. Canvas prints are suitable for all kinds of walls.
- Metal (aluminium dibond print): An Aluminium Dibond print is a print with an outstanding depth effect - for a modern look and a non-reflective surface structure. For the Direct Aluminium Dibond option, we print the chosen artwork right on the surface of the aluminum. The white and bright components of the work of art shimmer with a silky gloss but without any glare. Colors are vivid and luminous in the highest definition, the details of the print are crisp.
- Poster print (canvas material): A poster is a UV printed flat canvas with a slightly roughened surface finish. A print poster is particularly used for putting the art print with the help of a custom-made frame. Please note, that depending on the size of the poster we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the painting, which facilitates the framing with your custom frame.
- The acrylic glass print (with real glass coating): The print on acrylic glass, often referenced as a an art print on plexiglass, transforms the original work of art into marvellous décor and offers a great alternative to aluminium or canvas prints.
