Still Life with Flowers and Nuts — Anthony Oberman

Anthony Oberman. Painted c. 1830.

Floral still lifes of the Romantic period are characterised by their simple composition, light colour and the profusion of native species. So too in this still life: we see authentic Dutch plants such as primulas, geraniums, periwinkles, forget-me-nots and nasturtiums, as well as plants that were cultivated in glasshouses around 1830: daffodils, anemones, tulips and hyacinths. The blue tulip was originally purple: remains of the lost red pigment are still visible.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in 19th Century, Romanticism in the Netherlands, Main building.
