Description: | Gysaerts was born in Angers and joined the Guild of Saint Luke in around 1670. He became a priest in 1674 and joined the Franciscan order. This painting shows roses and other flowers in a glass vase set upon a stone plinth. The artist has used various trompe l'oeil effects such as chips in the stone and droplets of water in order to increase the illusion. A window can be seen reflected in the glass vase. | Subjects: | still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gysaerts, Wouter (Flemish painter, 1649-after 1674) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8570... | Go to resource |
