It’s a celebration of the bounty of nature and is, at the same time, an appealing way of showing prize specimens. It also demonstrates his skill in painting texture.\n\nHe has included poppies, hollyhocks and celosia, but the flowers – not as rare and pricey as they had been a century before the picture was painted – seem to take second place to the abundant fruits. These are mostly hothouse grown, and therefore costly: melons, black and translucent green grapes, peaches and a pineapple with its spiky crown at the top of the arrangement, almost seeming to float in space. Among them, busy insects – interesting specimens themselves – investigate the oozing juices, crisp leaves and fragrant petals.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/paulus-theodorus-van-brussel-fruit-and-flowers\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Fruit and Flowers\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paulus Theodorus Van Brussel","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509892681971,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (30 7\/8\" x 24\")","offer_id":50509892714739,"sku":null,"price":1223.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/4\" x 15 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509892747507,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 7\/8\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509892780275,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 3\/8\" x 23 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509892813043,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39 1\/4\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509892845811,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (47 1\/8\" x 36 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509892878579,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 5\/8\" x 43 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509892911347,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 5\/8\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509892944115,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/FruitandFlowers2framed.jpg?v=1788824772","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/fruit-and-flowers-ngal1373","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
