Description: | Gaspar Peeter de Verbruggen II (1664-1730) studied with his father Gaspar Peeter Verbruggen I (1635-1687), also a well-known flower painter. He became a master in the Antwerp Guild in 1677 and was elected dean in 1691. From 1706-1723 he worked in The Hague where he became a member of the Academy in 1708. In 1723 he returned to Antwerp where he remained until his death in 1730. In his early works the flowers are traditionally arranged with each bloom well defined. His late works are close in style to van Huysum in the way the flowers are arranged and staged in a decorative and theatrical way, placed in a niche. This work clearly belongs to that period. | Subjects: | still life ( flowers) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Verbruggen, Gaspar Peeter de, II (Flemish painter, 1664-1730) Æ Attributed to manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8514... | Go to resource |
