Jigsaw puzzle, 1000 pieces. Size 48 x 67 cm.

Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder (1573–1621) was a Dutch painter, especially known for flower arrangements. His work "Still Life With Flowers" is one of his most famous works and represents early Dutch still life painting.

Bosschaert often used colorful, exotic and rare flowers that had come to Europe via trade routes. The work is painted very precisely and in detail, and the dark background of the painting wonderfully emphasizes the colors, shapes and textures of the flowers. This creates a strong contrast and brings out the flowers in three dimensions. The flowers are also arranged symmetrically and harmoniously, which emphasizes their beauty.

The flower arrangements were not only aesthetic, but also had a symbolic meaning. Flowers could represent the fragility and transience of life (vanitas), but also the beauty and diversity of nature. Bosschaert often painted the flowers as separate elements and then combined them into a single whole. This allowed him to paint the flowers while they were in bloom and combine them later into a single work.

Bosschaert's works were highly regarded and significantly influenced the Dutch flower arrangement tradition. His works reflect the era's interest in botany and exotic plants. "Still Life With Flowers" is an excellent example of Bosschaert's ability to combine accurate naturalistic observation with artistic beauty, and remains a highly regarded work in the field of art history.
