Wall plate ‘Still life with Flowers.’ Jan Davidz. de Heem, Large

The Golden Age is a period in Dutch history that largely coincides with the seventeenth century. The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands flourished in areas such as the arts. The image on the plate is based on Still Life with Flowers in a Glass Vase, a painting by Jan Davidsz. De Heem (Utrecht April 1606 – Antwerp between September 18, 1683 and September 18, 1684). Jan Davidsz. De Heem was a Dutch painter. He only painted still lifes. Still life with flowers in a glass vase can be seen in the Rijksmuseum, and now on display at your own home.

Jan Davidsz. de Heem was a very successful painter who achieved great prosperity with the sale of his paintings. He was a central figure in Dutch still life painting in the seventeenth century. His work is a kind of synthesis between the Dutch and Flemish traditions, and both his Dutch and Flemish colleagues have been influenced by him.
