New: Spotlight on Jan Davidsz de Heem inspired Pillows

Jan Davidsz de Heem was born in Utrecht and first studied under his father David de Heem the Elder, and later under Balthasar van der Ast. His talent for creating meticulous still life paintings and portraits garnered him a sound reputation that commanded the highest prices for his paintings. Several of his paintings were actually works by his sons, or apprentices. He finished many paintings and signed them as his own. In this long dramatic lumbar, a marble cartouche holds a bouquet of sunflowers, fruits and creatures.  DLA-033 Cartouche Sunflower Bouquet Pillow

This dyptich lumbar was inspired from the work of Jan Davidsz de Heem. In a style his own, flowers and creatures come alive in vibrant hues in de Heem's works. With careful inspection, each work reflected a fine attention to detail in its depiction of surroundings and the subjects. Note the striations of the centerpiece tulip and its juxtaposition to a midnight bearded iris and the masterful play of light in this still life bouquet.   ​DLA-034 Mauritshuis Tulip Pillow
