About the piece
Collaboratively painted by Jean-Baptiste and Antoine Monnoyer in the late 17th century, this opulent still life is a masterclass in Baroque abundance. The composition overflows with a variety of textures, from the velvet petals of orange poppies and delicate roses to the dusty bloom on clusters of grapes. Tucked among the flora, a bright parrot and a small monkey add a touch of narrative intrigue to this grand decorative work.
