Vase of flowers is a 1806 oil by Cornelis van Spaendonck, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting is a beautiful still life of a vase filled with flowers. The vase is golden and sits on a table, surrounded by a few pieces of fruit. The flowers are a mix of pink, white, red, and purple, and they spill out of the vase in every direction. The painting is done in a realistic style, with lots of detail and texture. You can see the individual petals on the flowers and the ridges on the fruit. The background of the painting is dark, which helps the flowers and vase stand out. The artist who painted this is Cornelis van Spaendonck.
Cornelis van Spaendonck (7 December 1756 – 22 December 1839) was a Dutch painter who was a native of Tilburg.
