## Commentary

Vase of Flowers c. 1650 Oil on canvas, 47 x 40 cm Museo Diocesano y Catedralicio, Valladolid Diego Valentin Díaz enjoyed a great local reputation as a painter of religious subjects in his native city of Valladolid. The pair of charming flower paintings in the Museo Diocesano y Catedralicio in the Cathedral of Valladolid are the best-known paintings of this type by him. His large collection included a number of prints of flower pieces, which the artist may have used as sources for paintings. His testament also mentioned a still-life painting of sweetmeats by Juan van der Hamen in his possession, reflecting his interest in the works of artists at the court of Madrid. &lt;P&gt; &lt;TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR=&#34;\#99CCCC&#34;&gt; &lt;TR VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;IMG SRC=&#34;/support/gif/listen.gif&#34; BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE&gt; Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 7 minutes\):&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A HREF=&#34;\#&#34; onClick=&#34;w=window.open \(&#39;/music1/19\_cent/tchaikovsky\_nutcracker\_waltz.html&#39;, &#39;newWin&#39;, &#39;scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350&#39;\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true&#34;&gt;&lt;B&gt;Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: The Nutcracker, ballet suite, op. 71, Waltz of the Flowers&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;
