Wholesale Artist Series – Quilled Still Life with Flowers and Fruit, Huysum

"Still Life with Flowers and Fruit" was painted circa 1715 by Dutch still life artist, Jan van Huysum, during the peak of the Dutch Golden Age; similarly to de Heems' "Vase of Flowers". Van Huysum's ability to capture bursting colors of florals is unrivaled among his peers. Notably, "Still Life with Flowers and Fruit" fills the entire canvas, utilizing nearly every centimeter and maximizing the quality and attention to detail with every stroke. What set van Huysum apart from his contemporaries was his highly secretive ability to blend and apply his colors, giving his paintings, such as "Still Life with Flowers and Fruit", a traceable uniqueness only known to him. The Artist Series artfully transforms paint strokes into paper strips using the ancient art of quilling. Each card takes several hours to make and reimagine a famous work of art into a magnificent greeting card that can either be sent and shared with loved ones or kept and framed as the work of art it is.
