Description: | Signed: yes Description: The Amsterdam based artist Jacobus Linthorst (1745-1815) specialised in flower painting following the success of earlier artists such as Jan van Huysum (1682-1749). Huysum developed the format of arranging luxuriant flowers and fruit in diagonal or S shaped forms, placing them in classical vases, setting them on stone plinths, and often accompanying them with a bird's nest. All these details are present in this painting making it a typical example of the genre. Such paintings were popular with a wide range of patrons and collectors, a fact that encouraged painters like Linthorst to capitalise on their popularity. | Subjects: | butterflies bird's nest); animal (snail dragonfly); landscape still life (flowers | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Linthorst, Jacobus (Dutch artist, 1745-1815) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8855... | Go to resource |
