Early 17th Century Still Life Painting

Splendid oil painting on canvas depicting a still life with flowers inside a vase similar to a classic kantharos. The white, red and yellow flowers create a vibrant contrast with the dark background, while the play of chiaroscuro adds depth and beauty to the composition. Some flowers are in full bloom, while others droop gently downwards, creating an atmosphere of delicate beauty and poetry. The painting is the work of an anonymous Tuscan painter from the first half of the 17th century, in the Louis XIV period. The small gilded wood wand frame completes the work, giving a touch of elegance and refinement. This painting definitely captures the fleeting beauty of nature and transforms it into a timeless work of art, exuding warmth and charm.
