Caption
Floral Still Life, 1639. Other Title(s): Still Life with Flowers. While this ample bouquet appears quite natural, tulips, anemones, roses and carnations all have different seasons. Yet Bollongier combined them into a harmonious composition. This still life was painted following the financial collapse of 1637, when many lost their fortunes speculating in tulip bulbs. Perhaps this festive bouquet suggests the transience of worldly matters.
