Jan Brueghel the Elder
Still Life with Flowers in a Glass
From $80
This painting is a tower of tiny, jewel-like flowers on black, and a cheap copy loses the small flowers in the dark. Our Brueghel Large Bouquet of Flowers print was graded from a high-resolution master so every tulip, iris and tiny bloom stays clear.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.

Sizes
12x16 inch, 18x24 inch, 30x40 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its tall shape suits a study, a hallway or a living room wall. The reds, whites and blues look rich with cream, slate and walnut, and a black or gold frame suits it.
About the painting
Large Bouquet of Flowers in a Wooden Vessel by Jan Brueghel the Elder
Flower Brueghel
Jan Brueghel, son of Pieter Bruegel and friend of Rubens, was one of the first painters to make flowers the whole subject of a picture. People called him “Flower Brueghel”.
130 flowers
The Kunsthistorisches Museum counts about 130 different flowers in this bouquet. It is not a real arrangement but an encyclopedia of rare species, from crown imperials to tulips and irises.
An archduke’s treasure
It belonged to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, and the museum calls it one of the most famous flower pieces of all. It still hangs in Vienna.
Read the story
A tower of flowers rising from a plain wooden tub. At the top, an orange crown imperial and great red blooms. Below them, tulips, irises, lilies, roses, and dozens upon dozens of tiny blossoms, each one clear and bright against the dark.
Jan Brueghel painted this in Antwerp about 1607. He was the son of the great Pieter Bruegel, and a close friend of Rubens. People called him Flower Brueghel, because he was one of the first painters to make a bouquet the whole subject of a picture.
The museum in Vienna has counted the flowers. There are about one hundred and thirty different kinds.
And they could never have stood together. They bloom in different months of the year, some of them were rare and precious, and Brueghel travelled to draw them wherever he could find them. Then he put them all together in paint, like a living encyclopedia of flowers.
This painting belonged to the Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria, a great collector. Today it hangs in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, and it is one of the most famous flower paintings in the world.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
