“Still life with Flowers in a Glass Vase”
Description
The piece is a still- life painting of flowers in a glass vase on a stone sheet It was painted by Jan Davidz De Heem in 1650. In the piece, I see multiple brightly coloured flowers in a bouquet, some are standing up straight and some are wilted and falling. Each flower is bright, and their colours make them pop, there is red, white, pink, brown, blue and green. I think that there are some roses, trosnarcis, dormers, tulips and honeysuckles with some strands of wheat. Each flower is extremely detailed and looks 3D. There are also some animals, a butterfly, a caterpillar, beetles, ants and other insects such as spiders and a snail. Jan Davidz De Heem has used watercolour, oil …show more content…

It is approximately h54.5 cm x w36.5 cm x d7.8 cm.
Analysis
Jan Davidz De Heems use of bright colours really brightens up the piece and gives it a happy feeling. The colours used are naturally vivid such as blues, reds, yellows and are really intense so they make the flowers stand out against the plain black background. There are no dull colours used and are all light colours, however, some parts of the flowers or stems are dark colours to add form, definition and detail. Jan Davidz De Heem uses his space very well, there are positive spaces as he has used up most of the space with flowers and stems. Each flower has its own unique shape and space so no two flowers look alike. There are very few negative spaces where he has not painted anything but I find that it looks good this way as it is not too crowded. The black background helps the flowers stand out, so if there was more flowers or things drawn onto those parts, the focus on the bright flowers

The choice of blues for the butterfly’s wings and purple for the background creates a very elegant and beautiful feeling. The focal area of the art piece is the butterfly. The use of a reddish-purple to highlight around the butterfly causes the butterfly to pop out more. The texture of the butterfly is clearly visible and it increases the elegancy and beauty of the photograph. In my opinion, this art piece is the best out of the other pieces that were displayed in the art collection that

The sun beams from the sky are lighting up a small area of the painting and the rest is dark and gloomy. The gloominess of the painting represents dark and depressing times while the brightness of the sky creeps through thick dark clouds. This represents heaven because heaven is so large and bright and amazing that even though life is hard and seems like the world is ending, there is always something greater out there. Personally, I love this painting. I really like how Dore paints that trees and valley dark because it really highlights the beams from the sun.
