What's your favorite flower?🌷

This stunning bouquet by Ambrosius Bosschaert combines flowers that bloomed from different seasons: lilies and tulips in spring; irises, roses and carnations in summer. The artist typically made drawings and watercolors of individual blossoms in the studio and then adapted them to specific compositions. These very same blossoms can be seen in his other painted bouquets.

From intricately carved ivory sculptures to gem-studded silver objects for the elite, this presentation of small-scale, portable works showcases the skill and ingenuity of the kingdom's artisans.
