# Flower Still-Life [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [HEEM, Cornelis de]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 53 x 42,5 cm ## Commentary With the emancipation of the still-life in the first decades of the 17th century, flowers too became 'picturesque' and worthy of figuring as the subject of painting. Previously appearing as single blooms or as a small arrangement in a vase, and bearing an allegorical or theological significance in the context of an historical or religious scene, they now fill the pictorial space. ## Related artworks - [Festoon with Fruit and Flowers]() - [Still-Life of Fruit]() - [Still-Life]() - [Still-Life with Flowers and Fruit \(detail\)]() - [Still-Life with Flowers and Fruit]() - [Still-Life with Flowers]() - [Still-Life with Oysters, Lemons and Grapes]() - [Vanitas Still-Life with a Skull and an Écorché]() - [Vanitas Still-Life with Musical Instruments]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
