Jean-baptiste Monnoyer (1636-1699), Attributed To - Large Flower Bowl

- Oil on canvas.- Magnificent vase by Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, probably one of the most talented still life painters of the Louis XIV period. Its impressive pictorial quality is underlined by its magnificent state of preservation and by the presentation of the painting in an elegant frame, probably created in the mid-19th century to house it. The composition follows the scheme so often used by the eminent French florist: on a classical entablature, against a backdrop of the sky, an exquisite classical vase adorned with numerous species of flowers. The precision of the brushwork is that of a master, and every detail, every glimmer, every leaf and petal shines with its own light in this high-quality painting.- Unframed image dimensions: 58 x 79 cm / 85 x 107 cm, with a magnificent historical molding from the mid-19th century. - Label on the back from the Cabinet Turquin of Paris, a renowned agency of experts in old master paintings that has achieved some of the highest auction prices for works by old masters in recent years.
