About this work

Artist: Jan van Huysum (1682–1749)
Year: 1722
Medium: Oil on panel
Original size: 80.3 × 61 cm
Collection: J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles
Movement: Dutch Golden Age

A terracotta vase carved with an antique relief overflows with flowers from every season of the year, roses, anemones, hyacinths and tulips among them, built into a loose pyramid that seems about to burst its container. Butterflies and insects crawl among the stems and drops of water stand on the leaves. Jan van Huysum painted it in 1722, working from life and waiting for each flower to come into season, which is why some of his bouquets took years to finish; the brilliance comes from layer upon layer of thin oil glazes on the panel. He painted it as the companion to the Fruit Piece of the same year, and the two have stayed together, passing through the Van Winter collection in Amsterdam and Alfred de Rothschild's in London before the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles acquired both in 1982. It is among the best-known Dutch flower pieces in America.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is Vase of Flowers in the public domain?

Yes. Jan van Huysum (1682–1749) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by J. Paul Getty Museum.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Vase of Flowers painted, and in what medium?

Vase of Flowers dates from 1722 and was made in oil on panel; the original measures 80.3 × 61 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
