ABOUT THIS PIECE Willem van Aelst's Flower Still Life with a Timepiece was created in 1663 and is in Mauritshuis den Haag. The size of the work is 62,5 x 49 cm and is made of oil on canvas. Van Aelst’s flower still-lifes are different to those of his predecessors. Rather than painting symmetrical bouquets, he arranged them along a diagonal line. Moreover, he did not light them evenly, opting instead for strong contrasts of light and dark. This lends tension and dynamism to his bouquets. This profuse flower painting was intended as a showpiece. The flowers stand in a costly silver vase, and a gold watch lies beside them. Van Aelst, who had lived in Italy, signed the work with his Italian name. The Artist: Dutch baroque painter Willem van Aelst (1627 - 1683) joined the town’s Saint Luke’s Guild on 1643. Van Aelst worked for the Medici family, specifically the brothers Cardinal Gian Carlo and Cardinal Leopoldo de’ Medici.
