The painting depicts a marvelous still life of flowers, where numerous colorful buds are gathered in a large vase placed on a shelf: bellflowers, tulips, hyacinths, anemones, and other species compose the bouquet, expertly placed against a dark background to highlight the sinuous shapes of the stems, the leaves, and especially the bright, dazzling colors of the petals.

The work demonstrates the work of a skilled floral painter trained in the prestigious 17th-century Flemish tradition, although at the same time, the decisive execution and sensitivity to light reveal a typically Mediterranean verve, evident in the soft and balanced harmonies of the bright colors of the buds.

The artist displays all his Baroque exuberance and Nordic talent for the precise of various floral typologies, influenced, however, by the Roman still life of the late 17th century.

We must also not forget the exceptional pictorial tradition of the Brueghel family dynasty, which our painter expresses with absolute mastery and modernity, particularly through his innovative conception of scenic and lighting, which brilliantly delineates forms and enriches tones.
