Craft: Adriaen van der Spelt and Frans van Mieris. Trompe l'Oeil Still Life with a Flower Garland and a Curtain 1658. This painting was done by using oil paint on panel. This painting is unique because two different artists completed it. One artist completed the floral section while the other completed the curtain. This artwork inspired me because it had two different artists with two different agendas.
Composition: The arrangement of elements in this piece is what really made me choose this painting as my favorite in the old part of the museum. I think that it is completed crazy for art styles at this time period to incorporate a blue curtain on top of a beautiful floral scene.
Concept: I feel that the concept of his piece of art is going outside the normal box of floral scenes. By putting the blue curtain on this picture show that although the flowers look so nice they can still be covered up by one pull of the curtain. It was also another reason why the artist decided to have the curtain pulled open other than pulled closed.
