Description: | This is one of two flower-pieces painted by Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer in the art gallery at Nottingham. This example typifies the artist's work, comprising a varied collection of flowers including poppies, anemones, hydrangea and iris. The flowers are displayed in a glass vase. Monnoyer, who was born in Lille and trained in Paris, painted a large number of flower-pieces, although he achieved a reputation for his interior decorative schemes for French and English clients. These patrons included the Duke of Montagu, who brought the artist to England in the mid-1680s. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Monnoyer, Jean-Baptiste (French painter, 1636-1699, active in Paris and London) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8522... | Go to resource |
