Flowers On A Fountain With A Peacock

The dramatic style of the painting reflects the demand for large still life and landscape paintings that were popular at the turn of the eighteenth century. The painting is one of thirteen by Weenix that can be found at the Wallace Collection; the theatrical use of lighting and highly decorative style makes it the perfect accessory to sit in your breast pocket.
