"Still Life of Flowers in a Basket on a Stone Ledge," Jan Brueghel the Younger, 17th century.

Brueghel (1601-1678) was from a great artistic family; his father was Jan Brueghel the Elder (of course), and his grandfather was Pieter Brueghel the Elder, both exceptional Flemish painters of the Renaissance. Jan the Younger was of the Baroque period, having taken over his father's workshop at a young age, and developing his own style.

He didn't do as many still lifes and florals as his father, but here's one of his most delightful. A lovely jumble of flowers is presented to us in a basket, with tulips, roses, cornflowers, lily-of-the-valley, and other, but Brueghel makes it balanced and harmonious amid all the jumble, rather than a cacophony.

Happy Flower Friday!

From a private collection.

A Baroque-era painting of flowers in a basket on a stone ledge. The flowers include tulips, roses, lily-of-the-valley, rananculus, cornflowers, and an iris.

Als ich mich der Santa Maria Maddalena in Rom näherte, war ich sofort beeindruckt von der barocken Fassade. Die eleganten Kurven und kunstvollen Details zogen mich in ihren Bann. Es schien, als würde die Fassade die Geschichte der Stadt erzählen – ein wahres architektonisches Juwel mitten in Rom.

As I approached Santa Maria Maddalena in Rome, I was immediately captivated by its baroque façade. The elegant curves and intricate details drew me in. It felt as though the façade itself was telling the story of the city – a true architectural gem in the heart of Rome.

"Interior of the Pantheon, Rome," Giovanni Paolo Panini, c. 1734.

This Panini ain't just a sandwich. Giovanni Paolo (1691-1765) was a Baroque painter and architect, one of the great visual chroniclers of 18th century Rome.

Here, we have one of Rome's great landmarks, the Pantheon, with foreign tourists joined by Romans of all social strata, coming to pray, socialize, or just gawk. While the details of the Pantheon are depicted carefully and lovingly, this is NOT a realistic view. There actually is no way to get this perspective from inside the building...as with many Baroque painters, he could be very fanciful!

Panini also did many views of Rome from various locations, and amusingly, several "gallery " paintings that would show a picture gallery in a private home, full of different paintings that he would create in miniature. A quirky project!

A Baroque scene. We are inside the Pantheon of Rome, with various foreign visitors and Romans of all social strata milling about, some coming to pray, others to socialize, and still others to admire the architecture. The features and design of the Pantheon is painted in great detail, although unrealistically, as the actual perspective is not possible within the real Pantheon. The famous hole in the ceiling lets in a beam of light, and we see a glimpse of a bright sky.
