discover the story about jan davidsz. de heem's flowers still life in glass vase

This still life was painted in the 17th century, during the Dutch Golden Age, by Jan Davidsz. de Heem. It is made with oil on canvas, using detailed brushwork to capture light, texture, and reflections with great realism.

De Heem was inspired by the beauty of nature and the tradition of luxury still life painting, often including flowers and glass objects to symbolise both richness and the fragility of life.

Today, works by Jan Davidsz. de Heem can be seen in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
