National Gallery: Bosschaert the Elder: Still Life of Flowers (Foiled Journal) Notebook / blank book

Part of the Flame Tree Notebooks series

Notebook / blank book

Description

Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks.

Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed then foil stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks and a solid magnetic side flap.

These are perfect for personal use and make a dazzling gift.

National Gallery: Bosschaert the Elder - Still life of Flowers in a Wan-Li Vase.

Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

The flowers in this arrangement, which include lilies, tulips, roses, and carnations, are painted with almost scientific precision.

Bosschaert’s choice of a smooth copper support enhances the extraordinary detail of his brushwork.

The bouquet itself, however, is a fiction: these flowers do not bloom at the same time, and would have been far too precious to cut for temporary display.
