The composition brings together striped tulips, roses, narcissus, hydrangea-like blossoms and smaller blue and crimson flowers, loosely arranged in a classical urn or vase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe painting draws upon the celebrated tradition of 17th-century Dutch and Flemish flower painting, in which individual blossoms are articulated against a dark background to emphasize their color, form and almost sculptural presence. Particularly appealing are the dramatically curved stems and partially opened tulips, which give the otherwise formal arrangement a sense of movement and natural irregularity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe restrained palette of old rose, cream, ochre, crimson, blue and muted green has a beautifully time-softened quality. The dark ground provides considerable depth and makes the lighter blossoms appear to emerge from shadow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnsigned. Presented in a molded giltwood frame with beaded inner border. The canvas exhibits visible age-related craquelure and surface wear, contributing to its antique character. The reverse shows an older canvas and stretcher construction; exact age and attribution would require examination in person.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImage: 21.25\" H × 17.75\" W\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFramed: 24.25\" H × 21\" W × 1\" D\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COLEVILLE HOME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49395559235819,"sku":null,"price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0816\/2843\/0571\/files\/coleville-home-antique-oil-on-canvas-dutch-school-floral-1.jpg?v=1789176692","url":"https:\/\/colevillehome.com\/products\/antique-oil-on-canvas-dutch-school-floral-still-life-with-tulips-roses-narcissus-in-giltwood-frame","provider":"COLEVILLE HOME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
