Description: | Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer's flower paintings were highly prized and it was said that his blooms lacked only perfume. Monnoyer produced up to sixty flower paintings for Louis XIV alone. When this painting first entered the collection at Bristol it was attributed to Monnoyer. However, Monnoyer's flower paintings inspired many imitations, and it is now thought that this example was painted by another seventeenth-century artist who worked in his style. Many paintings which are still attributed to Monnoyer may have instead been made by his imitators. | Subjects: | still life (flowers) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Monnoyer, Jean-Baptiste (French painter, 1636-1699, active in Paris and London) Æ Attributed to school of Previously attributed to Monnoyer, Jean-Baptiste (French painter, 1636-1699, active in Paris and London) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8883... | Go to resource |
