Cornelis Maes · No. 335
Lilies & Irises
Lilies & Irises closes Cornelis Maes's Dutch Golden Age Still Life with stately grace. White lilies, purple irises and full roses rise from a blue-and-white porcelain vase, a moth at the edge and dewdrops trembling on the petals, the whole lit by a single dramatic light against a dark ground. Maes works in the grand floral tradition, contrasting the cool porcelain and pale lilies with the deep velvet shadow, every stamen and fold of petal rendered with exquisite precision. The composition rises with serene, vertical elegance. Luminous, refined and masterfully glazed, it is a fitting, dignified finale to the collection — the old-master bouquet at its most beautiful.
An original oil painting on canvas by Cornelis Maes, painted to order — never a reproduction. Sumptuous old-master still lifes — lavish flowers, fruit and banquet pieces in dramatic chiaroscuro, hyper-detailed and richly glazed in the manner of the Dutch masters.
