Description: "This book about Jan van Huysum is a welcome acquisition for art and flower lovers alike. Not only is attention given to the painterly qualities and the art historical aspects of his work, but it includes charts identifying all the plants, flowers and animals depicted." "This publication focuses on Jan van Huysum's life, family and background. At the same time his predecessors and followers come to the fore, while attention is given to symbolism, false and genuine, and the numerous wrong attributions and technical aspects of his work."--BOOK JACKET.
