"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!

It's amazing how long citrus fruits can last. Found those in the back of our fruit basket, they were bought at least five months ago. The oranges had a slightly unusual, but not unpleasant, taste. I ate them a few hours ago and I'm still alive. I didn't try the tangerines.
