NICOLAES VAN VERENDAEL (FLEMISH 1640 - 1691), ROSES, A TULIP, MORNING

NICOLAES VAN VERENDAEL (FLEMISH 1640 - 1691) ROSES, A TULIP, MORNING GLORY AND OTHER FLOWERS AND AN EAR OF CORN IN A GLASS VASE Oil on canvas Signed (lower right) 33 x 25.5cm (12 x 10 in.) Provenance: Mr. John Harrison This extremely sophisticated and detailed vase of summer flowers is an exceptional example of Van Verendael's oeuvre. Through its varied textures - ranging from the roughness of the leaves to the softness of the rose petals - the painting stands as a virtuoso demonstration of the artist's technical abilities. Van Verendael's work was highly appreciated during his lifetime, particularly for his flower paintings, which, as seen here, were renowned for their contrasted, subtly modelled colouring, endowing the petals with a texture reminiscent of crumpled silk. Influenced in his early work by the soft textures of paintings by Daniel Seghers (see Lot 33), Van Verendael later developed a brisker brushstroke, moving towards the style of Jan Davidsz. de Heem. Condition Report: The canvas has been lined. Rubbing and abrasions to the framing edges. Stretcher marks visible in a natural light. Some superficial surface scratches, and very light isolated craquelure. Inspection under UV light reveals some retouching throughout, predominately to the background areas and along the stretcher marks. There is also some reinforcement to the yellow and white pigments in the flowers. A green cloudy varnish throughout.
