Arnoldus Bloemers was born in Amsterdam in 1792 and studied at the Academy of Amsterdam under Antoine Piera. Bloemers was largely inspired by one of the most well-known 17th Century masters in still life painting: Jan van Huysum (1682-1749). His work was widely admired and his influence on the theme of floral still lifes was far-reaching.
The present painting fits seamlessly into the tradition of Dutch flower painting. An overflowing terracotta vase of flowers from all seasons has been placed on a ledge against a neutral background. This rich still life has an engaging composition which is characterized by the tension between the warm and subtle earth tones of the ledge and background against the vibrant and striking pinks, whites and reds of the flowers. The play of light, fading some elements to the back and highlighting others in the foreground, combined with the almost tangible quality of the flowers is a testament to the great skill of this master of the 19th century still life.
