EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the delicate beauty of nature's winged creatures. Painted by Jan van Kessel, a renowned Flemish artist from the 17th century, this oil on copper artwork showcases a stunning array of butterflies, moths, and other insects. Each creature is meticulously rendered with intricate details that bring them to life on the canvas. In the center of the composition lies a sprig of periwinkle, adding a touch of vibrant color and freshness to the scene. The periwinkle serves as both an anchor and contrast to the ethereal quality of the insects surrounding it. The composition is masterfully balanced, with each element carefully placed to create harmony and visual interest. From ladybirds crawling along leaves to beetles resting on petals, every insect seems frozen in time as if captured mid-flight or crawl. The use of oil on copper lends a luminous quality to this artwork, enhancing its richness and depth. The small size adds an intimate feel that draws viewers closer for a more detailed examination. This print is part of a pair; its counterpart can be found alongside it in private collections around the world. It stands as a testament not only to van Kessel's skill but also his fascination with capturing nature's wonders through art. Whether you are an entomology enthusiast or simply appreciate fine artistry, this print offers an enchanting glimpse into the captivating world of butterflies, moths, and other insects.
