# Flower Piece [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PICHLER, Joseph von]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 94 x 71 cm ## Commentary The present flower piece was submitted for the Vienna Academy as a reception piece. The inclusion of a park vista as an extension of the stone balustrade and vase was based on the decorative bouquets by an artist like <A onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/h/huysum/jan/bouq\_urn.html'\)" HREF="/html/h/huysum/jan/bouq\_urn.html">Jan van Huysum.</A> However, Pichler went a completely different way in his use of colour, banishing blue from the palette. ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
