Vanitas Flower Collection: The Art of Dutch Golden Age Flower Still Life 127 This book introduces the fascinating genre of Vanitas Flower paintings, which emerged in the Dutch Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries. These paintings depict various flowers that symbolize the transience of beauty, the futility of worldly pleasures, and the vanity of human achievements. The term Vanitas comes from the Latin phrase "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity", which begins the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. This phrase also inspired the Memento Mori philosophy, which urges people to remember their mortality and live accordingly. In this book, you will learn about the history, culture, and aesthetics of Vanitas Flower, and explore the works and artists of this genre, from the Dutch Golden Age to the present day. You will see how these paintings reflect the social and religious changes of the Dutch Republic, as well as the artistic influences of other countries and regions. You will also discover the hidden meanings and symbols behind the flowers depicted in these paintings, such as roses, tulips, lilies, carnations, sunflowers, and corn ears.

This stunning book presents the very best still lifes produced in the Netherlands at the height of the genre, from the early beginnings in the 16th century, with Pieter Aertsen and Joachim Beuckelaer, to the late highlights in the 18th century, with Rachel Ruysch and Jan van Huysum. Despite the popularity and abundance of flower paintings in modern collections, the book includes a wide range of subjects and styles, from the simple to the complex, the charmingly small to the opulent and extravagant, and from flowers to hunting still lifes or objects in the corner of a painter's studio, along with an occasional trompe l'oeil. The visual delights of still-life painting have a strong historical context. Collectors and connoisseurs purchased them because of their realism, visual appeal, and relevance to their own lives. Poets praised the wonders of still-life paintings and evoked the power of painting to transcend the seasons and the passing of time. Contemporary observers lauded the expensive and elaborate objects often on display. The book therefore considers the visual achievement of the Netherlandish still life painters in the context of contemporary reactions to pictures, art theory, and issues of patronage. Numerous artists were tempted to try their hand at still life, drawn by a new and enchanting genre that allowed an artist to create independent worlds of inanimate objects on the flat surface of a picture -- imaginary realms that had an exceptional following among connoisseurs of the time. These images continue to work their magic on present-day art lovers.

In the last years of his life Paul Cézanne produced a stunning series of watercolors, many of them sill lifes. Still Life with Blue Pot is one of these late masterpieces that is now in the collection of the Getty Museum. In Cézanne in the Study: Still Life in Watercolors, Carol Armstrong places this great painting within the context of Cezanne’s artistic and psychological development and of the history of the genre of still life in France. Still life—like the medium of watercolor—was traditionally considered to be “low” in the hierarchy of French academic paintings. Cézanne chose to ignore this hierarchy, creating monumental still-life watercolors that contained echoes of grand landscapes and even historical paintings in the manner of Poussin—the “highest” of classical art forms. In so doing he changed his still lifes with new meanings, both in terms of his own notoriously difficult personality and in the way he used the genre to explore the very process of looking at, and creating, art. Carol Armstrong’s study is a fascinating exploration of the brilliant watercolor paintings that brought Cézanne’s career to a complex, and triumphant, conclusion, The book includes new photographic studies of the Getty’s painting that allow the reader to encounter this great watercolor as never before, in all of its richness and detail.
