Explore the evolution of Dutch flower painting over the course of two centuries. The exhibition explores Dutch flower painting from its beginnings in the early 17th century to its peak in the late 18th century, and is the first display of its kind in 20 years.
'Dutch Flowers' presents an overview of the leading artists in the field, such as Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder, Jan van Huysum, and Rachel Ruysch, providing a chance to admire their stylistic and technical characteristics, and the exquisite details of their paintings.

The long-term loan of Mr Brian Capstick's paintings to the National Gallery is such a great contribution to art lovers, thank you so very much ! Thanks for thing truly engaging lecture !
I love these paintings for their paint-handling.
Thank you for sharing this fascinating conversation.
love these talks but I wish the camera spent more time on the paintings (while they talk) and less on the people talking
ArtesVives " the paintings are overthere..."
sometimes and briefly i'm greedy lol i want to seeeee up and close and a lot
Agree
You are so correct. If they would do as you suggest with relevant closeups when appropriate along with split screen comparisons this series would be outstanding
These were a pleasure to listen to - so engaging and exciting
Those 2 paintings over there...he says...and the camera does not move. Could you please get much more visual on these talks...about
visuals...this is hopeless.
I totally agree, xyzllii. I have watched many of the National Gallery videos and the common theme is the static nature of the camera. It is SO frustrating and disappointing that we can't see the actual paintings that the experts reference. It greatly diminishes the enjoyment of the video
I want to listen to him.
I also want to look at the paintings when he talks about them because they are beautiful.
I'm sure you know that now in 2019.
Why not show the pictures ? No, the big money status is more important.
I love flower paintings!
No viewing of the paintings makes it uninteresting yet the talk would be brilliant if you could see what they are talking about
Mire ha mi y expongo lo sigiente sobre de Pintor Hoyente
It is perhaps not as remarkable as all that for wealthy ladies to have a great deal of time on their hands and all the freedom that goes with being rich. Unconventional, well--traveled, "liberated" ladies of leisure were common enough to constitute a recognizable type. It was among the lower classes who needed a job and a salary and society's approval to get both, that unconventional behavior was less typical.
The disparity between those two makes watching this video a bit testing. Their physical frames seem to underline this. It's like watching a little girl trying to please her father.
