The reason that flower still lifes were so popular is because they often carried symbolic meaning, such as themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of beauty, adding depth to the visual appeal.
Flowers symbolized beauty, transience, and the cycles of life, which made them rich subjects for artistic expression. They were often used as symbols of wealth, status, and the owner's cultivated taste, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries when flowers could represent different virtues or emotions (like roses for love or lilies for purity).
Sourced from an estate in Marseille.
