About the piece

This masterful 1683 oil painting by Frans Ykens features a vivid wreath of tulips, roses, and carnations that creates a natural frame around a grisaille depiction of the Holy Family. At the base, a Delftware-style bowl spills over with grapes, apples, and gourds, showcasing the artist's skill in botanical and still life detail against a deep, dramatic background.
