Jan van Huysum was a still-life painter and excelled in this genre, though he considered himself first and foremost a landscapist, specializing in fictional scenes from his mind’s eye. Here we see a typical still-life by this 18th-century talent, a Grecian urn full of blooms rendered with delicate brushstrokes, attracting the attention of two butterflies.
