Bouquet of Flowers in a Glass Vase - Ambrosius Bosschaert, 1621

Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder (1573 – 1621) was a Flemish-born Dutch still life painter and art dealer. He is recognised as one of the earliest painters who created floral still lifes as an independent genre. He founded a dynasty of painters who continued his style of floral and fruit painting and turned Middelburg into the leading centre for flower painting in the Dutch Republic.

The Dutch Golden Age produced small paintings too.
