Home/Collections/1600–1700/A Vase with Flowers

These two paintings, which were designed as pendants, are fairly characteristic of Giuseppe Vicenzino’s work. The harmonious brushstrokes in the Venetian manner, which recall the floral still lifes of Margherita Caffi, are combined with a composition which is modelled on the Roman school. The paintings are typical of one type of decorative Italian still life at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century; there is no trace of naturalism in them.
