Rijksmuseum Roulette<p>Still Life with Flowers in a Glass, Jan Brueghel (I), c. 1602<br>So many flowers in a small glass of water! This must have made an exceedingly lavish impression on a 17th-century viewer. Flowers were expensive at the time; gardens would have had only a few flowers, surrounded by much greenery. Jan Brueghel II was a faithful follower of his father Jan Brueghel I. This sparkling still life is a variant of a painting by his father.</p><p>A.A. des Tombe Bequest, The Hague<br>copper (metal), h 24.5cm × w 19cm<br><a href="http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/SK-A-2102" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/S</span><span class="invisible">K-A-2102</span></a><br><a href="https://c.im/tags/rijksmuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rijksmuseum</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/musea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>musea</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/collection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>collection</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mastodonart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodonart</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/mastoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastoart</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/random" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>random</span></a></p>
