Bouquet di fiori

Cornelis de Heem, seguendo le orme del suo famoso padre Jan Davidsz. de Heem, padroneggiò l'arte del "bouquet impossibile". In questa lussureggiante composizione barocca, ammassò tulipani, rose, papaveri e fritillarie imperiali che non fiorirebbero mai contemporaneamente in natura: è un giardino fantastico congelato nel tempo. Lo sfondo scuro e drammatico agisce come un riflettore, facendo sembrare che i delicati petali e il vaso di vetro brillino dall'interno. Tenete d'occhio le farfalle che svolazzano intorno; nell'Età dell'Oro olandese, queste non erano solo dettagli graziosi, ma simboli dell'anima e della natura effimera della vita.
