SEGHERS, Daniel (b. 1590, Antwerpen, d. 1661, Antwerpen) |
Garland of Flowers-Oil on canvas, 130 x 98 cm Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Ghent | ||
Garlands of flowers became a specialism in their own right within the overall genre of Flemish floral painting. The theme was developed by Jan Brueghel and perfected by his best-known pupil, Daniel Seghers. The garland customarily surrounds a medallion or cartouche containing a religious image that was usually added by another specialist artist.
