Fleurs dans une vasque godronnée, huile sur panneau du XVIIe siècle

Sur un fond brun presque noir, une vasque godronnée à piédouche, d'un ton de terre cuite, déborde de fleurs. Roses pâles ou rosées, tulipes panachées de rouge, boules neigeuses, grappes bleues, un lys orangé et des clochettes sombres posées sur l'entablement composent une abondance savamment désordonnée. Les pétales clairs captent la lumière et avancent vers le regard. Un fin réseau de craquelures parcourt la surface, et un joint vertical du panneau se devine au centre. Un large cadre doré, sculpté de rinceaux, entoure l'ensemble.

Autour de 1600, dans les Pays-Bas, le bouquet devient un sujet à part entière. Ambrosius Bosschaert l'Ancien, né en 1573 et mort en 1621, compte parmi les premiers à le traiter ainsi et fait de Middelburg le principal foyer de la peinture de fleurs des Provinces-Unies. Jan Brueghel l'Ancien peint lui aussi des bouquets à l'huile sur panneau de chêne, réunissant des fleurs de saisons différentes, parfois chargées d'une lecture religieuse. Le genre, étudié par le Metropolitan Museum pour l'Europe du Nord entre 1600 et 1800, sert ici de repère. Aucun peintre ni école n'est nommé ; la fiche retient seulement le XVIIe siècle.

Against a brown ground close to black, a gadrooned urn on a spreading foot, the colour of terracotta, overflows with flowers. Pale and pink roses, tulips streaked with red, snowy globes, blue clusters, an orange lily and dark bells laid on the ledge make an abundance in studied disorder. The pale petals catch the light and come forward to the eye. A fine web of craquelure runs across the surface, and a vertical joint in the panel can be made out at the centre. A broad gilt frame, carved with scrolling foliage, surrounds the whole.

Around 1600, in the Low Countries, the bouquet became a subject in its own right. Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder, born in 1573 and died in 1621, was among the first to treat it so, and made Middelburg the leading centre of flower painting in the Dutch Republic. Jan Brueghel the Elder also painted bouquets in oil on oak panel, bringing together flowers of different seasons that could carry a religious reading. The genre, studied by the Metropolitan Museum for Northern Europe between 1600 and 1800, serves here as a point of reference. No painter or school is named; the listing gives only the seventeenth century.
