Flower Piece
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Dominant colour
Flower Piece is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a dark background with a big bouquet of flowers spilling over the edge of a vase. The flowers are bright—red roses, white tulips, purple irises, and some yellow blooms. Green leaves mix in, and a few small blue flowers peek through. The vase sits on a flat surface, and the flowers look fresh but slightly wilted at the edges. The lighting makes the colors pop against the dark background. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
