Floral Still Life

View on the Catskill—Early Autumn, Thomas Cole

The flower piece is the still life at its most jewel-like. Dutch and Flemish painters built bouquets that crossed the seasons, tulip beside rose beside iris, each rendered with botanical exactness, the whole arrangement a study in colour and a reminder of how quickly cut blooms fade.
