Circa 1977. oil on wood panel. 40.3 x 30.3 cm. Signed. Framed. - Light paint abrasion in places along the edges. Partially very fine craquelure and slight surface soiling. Fired. No retouching visible under UV. Overall good. Very splendid, opulent bouquet of flowers in bright colors, in the manner of the Dutch still lifes of the 17th century. The fact that Josef Holstayn's painting was only created in the second half of the 20th century is cause for admiration. In the manner of the Dutch New Masters, Holstayn, like his colleagues in the 17th century, succeeds not only in creating hyper-realistic depictions of flower arrangements, but also in preserving the flowers in their diversity and splendor at 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. Holstayn also follows the pictorial tradition of the Dutch, focusing 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. Oil on wood panel. Signed. Framed. - Light color abrasion in places along the edges. Partially very fine craquelure and slight surface soiling.
