About the piece

Painted in 1673 by Ottmar Elliger, this opulent still life captures the beauty of nature with extraordinary precision. A glass vase overflows with a variety of blooms—including striped tulips, a full rose, and a delicate iris—while butterflies, a grasshopper, and fresh fruit adorn the stone ledge below. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a hallmark of the Dutch Golden Age, ensures the vibrant colors of the flora command attention against the deep, dark background.
