Basket of Flowers

Jean Baptiste Monnoyer (1636-1699), from: Livres de Plusieurs Paniers de Fleurs, etching, c. 1680-1695

Monnoyer was the most famous painter of still lifes of flowers and fruit in 17th-century France. His clients even included King Louis XIV. He also executed his designs in prints, often in impressively large formats. Published in albums, these prints certainly added greatly to the popularity of his work among a broad public.
