About the painting
Antoine Margry (first half of 19th century) was a flower painter but little is known about his life and artistic training. He exhibited at the Salon between 1831 and 1847.
This painting is a fine example of flowers composition in the style of 17th-century Netherlandish still-lifes. The influence of Netherlandish art, especially from the Golden Age period, spread in Western art during the 19th century and involved different categories of paintings from genre scenes to marine and landscape paintings. This revival probably results from the free and broad painterly technique of these paintings as well as a new interest in direct observation of nature which they pioneered two centuries ago.
