JAN BAPTIST BOSSCHAERT

(Antwerp 1667 - 1746)

A STILL LIFE OF FLOWERS IN A GILT VASE WITH A PARROT NEARBY, ALL ATOP A STONE LEDGE 



signed lower right: Bosschaert

oil on canvas

46¼ by 40⅛ in.; 117.5 by 101.9 cm.

The Estate of Carter Brown;

The London Shop Antiques, Baltimore.

Jan Baptist Bosschaert trained under the flower painter Jean Baptiste de Crépu in Antwerp, and he became a master in the guild of that city in 1703. The present work is entirely characteristic of his later output after circa 1710, and it can be very closely compared, in composition and handling, to a flower still life recorded in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore in 1972 [1]. We are grateful to Fred Meijer for endorsing the attribution on the basis of photographs.
