Still Life with Flowers and Fruit — Jan van Huysum

Jan van Huysum. Painted c. 1721.

The flower still life was a very popular genre in the 18th century, which Van Huysum took to great heights. He filled this painting almost to the edges with flowers and fruit. The colour of the leaf on the left is odd. This is because the yellow pigment Van Huysum mixed with blue to make green has faded under the influence of (sun)light. As a result, the originally green passages in this painting are now blue.
