A still life of the Dutch Golden Age by the virtuoso flower painter Ambrosius Bosschaert. At about the age of 16 his family, threatened by religious persecution, moved to Middleburg; a trading center in Zeeland celebrated for its lavish botanical gardens, where he was able to sketch rare and exotic flowers from around the world. Amid a booming art market and the coinciding tulip mania, he painted joyful bouquets of flowers wherein every specimen was developed with the same care and attention as the face of a portrait. His arrangements often combined flowers from different seasons and included elements symbolic of the transience of life. By his death in 1621 his reputation had grown to such proportions that he was able to sell a single flower portrait for one thousand gilders. One of his final paintings bears the inscription: “This is the angelic hand of the great painter of Flora, Ambrosius, renowned even to the banks of the Moré.”

Product Information

Expect crisp detail and vivid color from our giclée process fine art prints. We use archival pigment inks on cotton fiber paper to achieve a wide color gamut, deep blacks and beautiful tonal transitions. Unlike posters, they will not fade or yellow, but maintain their original quality for as long as you own them.

How to Frame

Historical artworks were produced in whatever shapes and sizes best suited the artists and their patrons, and these rarely correspond to the proportions of modern, mass-produced frames. Most reproductions sold on the web are cropped to an arbitrary standard, compromising the integrity of the original artwork. We solve this by using accent borders to make up any differences in proportion.

Framing may be as simple as inserting the print into a standard size frame with the borders showing. In many cases, our customers choose to have them matted. Borders allow space for framers to mount the print while covering little, if any, of the artwork. Our images are sized to provide desirable mat widths in common frames.

Sizes 9” x 12”, 12” x 16”, and 16” x 20” are designed to be matted in larger frames, such as 11” x 14”, 16” x 20” and 20” x 24”, respectively. Larger prints may be matted in frames of equal size, the borders corresponding to the shape of the mat. Where the artwork is unusually square or narrow, other sizes may be preferred.

If our sizing does not meet your requirements, we provide customization free of charge. Please contact us to discuss the details.
