Flowers in a Stone Frame opening onto a Landscape

Ambrosius BOSSCHAERT

The only painting by Ambrosius Bosschaert to be signed, perhaps even in his own hand, in full lettering on the back and one of the five unique Bouquets painted on a landscape background by this artist, this Bouquet is a masterpiece of 17th century flower painting, both scholarly and symbolic, which delicately reminds us of the ephemeral nature of existence and its fragility.

About the Musée du Louvre

Formerly a royal palace, the Louvre has embraced the history of France for eight centuries. Open to the public since 1793, the Louvre collections are among the finest in the world, encompassing several thousands of years and spread across a large territory from America to the confines of Asia. Divided among nine departments, the collections feature works admired throughout the globe, including the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Venus de Milo.

After the French Revolution, the Louvre was created as a place where artists could admire the great masters and look for inspiration. Even today, the Louvre remains a place of inspiration for the greatest contemporary creators, architects, painters, sculptors, dancers, and musicians.
