Vase of Flowers with a Curtain, Jacob de Gheyn (II) (1615)
Jacques de Gheyn II was one of the founders of the tradition of flower painting in the Netherlands. This exceptionally large panel is probably “the large vase of flowers surmounted by lilies” owned by De Gheyn’s son. It was likely kept in the artist’s studio as a showpiece to demonstrate his skills in a relatively novel artistic genre.
