Buchet de flori is a work by Daniel Seghers, a Baroque work, depicting Bouquet, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark background filled with a messy, colorful bouquet. The flowers—tulips, roses, and others—are painted in bright reds, yellows, whites, and pinks. Some petals look soft and crumpled, while others stand out sharply. A few fallen petals and leaves lie scattered at the bottom, like they just dropped. The artist used bold colors and thick brushstrokes to make the flowers pop against the dark space. The way light hits certain petals makes them glow, while shadows keep the rest deep and moody.

Daniel Seghers (3 December 1590 – 2 November 1661) was a Flemish Jesuit brother and painter who specialized in flower still lifes.
