Öl auf Holzplatte. 40,3 x 30,3 cm. Signiert. Gerahmt. - Entlang der Kanten punktuell mit leichtem Farbabrieb. Partiell sehr feines, Craquelé und leichte Oberflächenanschmutzungen. Gefirnisst. Unter UV keine Retuschen erkennbar. Ingesamt gut. Sehr prachtvolles, üppiges Blumenbouquet in leuchtenden Farben, in der Manier der niederländischen Stillleben des 17. Jhds. Dass Josef Holstayns Gemälde erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jhds. entstand, vermag zu Bewunderung führen. In der Manier der Neuen Meister der Niederlande, gelingt es Holstayn wie seinen Kollegen im 17. Jhd. nicht nur hyperrealistische Abbildungen von Blumenarrangements zu schaffen, sondern die Blumen in ihrer Vielfalt und Pracht zu konservieren im Moment der Blüte. Holstayn zeigt sein Können in der Varianz der verschiedenen Blumen, bei denen unter anderem rosafarbene Rosen, blaue Hyazynthen und rot und weiß gefiederte Tulpen zu erkennen sind. Ebenfalls der Bildtradition der Niederländer verhaftet, fokussiert sich Holstayn ausschließlich auf die Blumen, hält den Bildhintergrund betont schlicht und deutet lediglich die Vase - hier mit der sehr reizvollen Spiegelung - und den Marmortisch an. In Eleganz entfaltet sich der Charme der Blumen. Oil on wood panel. Signed. Framed. - Light colour abrasion in places along the edges. Partially very fine craquelure and slight surface soiling. Varnished. No retouching visible under UV light. Good overall. Very splendid, opulent bouquet of flowers in bright colours, in the manner of 17th century Dutch still lifes. - The fact that Josef Holstayn's paintings were only created in the second half of the 20th century is cause for admiration. In the manner of the New Masters of the Netherlands, Holstayn, like his colleagues in the 17th century, succeeds not only in creating hyper-realistic depictions of floral arrangements, but also in preserving the flowers in their diversity and splendour, capturing the moment of blossoming. Holstayn shows his skill in the variety of the different flowers, which include pink roses, blue hyacinths and red and white feathered tulips. Also rooted in the pictorial tradition of the Dutch, Holstayn focusses exclusively on the flowers, keeping the background of the picture emphatically simple and only hinting at the vase - here with the very attractive reflection - and the marble table. The charm of the flowers unfolds in elegance.
