A bouquet of colorful flowers rests on a stone counter between apricots and a bunch of green grapes. The naturalistic style of painting veils the artificiality of the arrangement: for example, anemones bloom in the spring, while grapes are harvested in the late summer or early fall. Eighteenth-century still life painters reveled in art's potential for capturing the beauty and scientific structures of botanical specimens.
