Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder Biography

Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder (1573-1621) was a Dutch painter known for his floral paintings. Active during the Dutch Golden Age, Bosschaert was greatly inspired by the riches of the nation's flourishing botanical gardens, which featured exotic flora from across the world. His still lifes, which were typically executed on copper and small in size, are characterized by a careful attention to symmetry and often feature flowers with moral or religious symbolism.
