Context:
With just a few flowers, Verelst created a composi-tion of great sophistication and balance. A simple glass flask has been filled with a large rose, a red anemone, and a white narcissus tinged with pink. These flowers are surrounded by a scattering of smaller blossoms. Like many still-life painters Verelst depicted a window reflected in the glass vase, but here he did not show the window's precise structure. He did, however, use another common device?the depiction of a few chips in the stone surface to make the material seem more tangible.Born in Holland, Verelst moved to London early in his career where he worked for the court of King James II and was extravagantly praised for the realism of his flower pictures. It was reported that the artist became so vain and conceited that he experienced a mental breakdown.
