Still life with bouquet and artichoke
This still life is part of an ongoing series in the Dutch visual language of the Golden Age. I am fascinated by the classical still life, which appears as a window onto another world full of lush food and flowers where tropical birds inspect the table, giving the image a just-walked-in quality.
