Still Life with Flowers and Citrus Fruits

Oil on canvas

70 x 52 cm.

With frame: 85 x 67 cm.

The composition depicts a rich bouquet composed of various botanical varieties, including white and pink roses, anemones, carnations, and fringed-petaled tulips, arranged in a glass vase. In the foreground, on a stone surface, two lemons and a cut red tulip are visible—details typical of Baroque still lifes used to create depth and realism.

The painting, of pleasing pictorial quality and in good condition, is characterized by its rich and brilliant colors and can be dated to between the late 17th century and the early 18th century.

The pictorial style allows us to attribute the work to an artist stylistically linked to the Northern tradition among the followers of Abraham Brueghel (Antwerp 1631 – Naples 1697), a Flemish artist by origin but active in Italy for most of his career, first in Rome and then in Naples, one of the leading European figures in the still-life genre during the second half of the 17th century.

Abraham Brueghel is credited with popularizing a new compositional model for still lifes, in which “displays” of colorful flowers are often paired with juicy fruits, highlighted by crisp light and brilliant colors.
