Nature morte de fleurs is a 1677 oil by Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, depicting Bouquet, held at Art Gallery of Ontario.
This painting showcases a vibrant bouquet of flowers, with a mix of red, pink, white, and yellow blooms. The arrangement is set against a dark background, which helps the colors of the flowers stand out. A closer look reveals the delicate details of each flower, from the soft petals to the subtle variations in color. The overall effect is one of lushness and abundance, as if the flowers are spilling out of the frame.
