Home Decor The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Peeters Bouquet Of Flowers Tea Towel

Gifts For Art Lovers, Inspired By The Met Collection.

Lend A Touch Of Drama To Your Kitchen With Our Tea Towel Featuring An Ambitious Arrangement Painted By The Remarkable Clara Peeters (Flemish, Ca. 1587–After 1636). A Bouquet Of Flowers (Ca. 1612), Housed At The Met, Showcases The Artist’S Keen Eye For Detail—In The Way Of Reflective Dewdrops, Little Insect Bites, And Drooping Petals Evocative Of Transience And Decay—And Reveals The Close Connection Between Botanical Illustration And Still-Life Painting, Both Of Which Became Popular During The Scientific Revolution. Peeters Was A Founding Figure In The History Of European Still-Life Painting, An Especially Attractive Genre To Women Artists Who Weren’T Permitted To Study Nude Models.
