Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder (1573-1621) was a distinguished Flemish-born Dutch still-life painter widely recognised for his exquisite floral compositions. Born on January 18, 1573, in Antwerp, Bosschaert and his family fled to Middelburg in the Northern Netherlands around 1587 to escape religious persecution. He joined the Middelburg Guild of Saint Luke in 1593, establishing himself as a master painter specialising in still lifes of flowers and fruits.
Bosschaert is credited with elevating floral still-life painting into an independent genre. His works are characterised by their meticulous detail and vibrant colour, often painted on copper to achieve a glossy finish. His compositions typically feature a symmetrically arranged bouquet, combining flowers from different seasons, painted with scientific precision and artistic flair. Notable works include "Vase of Flowers" (circa 1618) and "Flowers in a Glass Vase" (1614), both showcasing his mastery of colour and form.
Bosschaert's influence, a testament to his enduring legacy, extended through his family. His three sons—Ambrosius the Younger, Johannes, and Abraham—continued his artistic legacy. His brother-in-law, Balthasar van der Ast, also became a prominent flower painter under his tutelage. Bosschaert's legacy, preserved in the careful balance and beauty of his floral still lives, remains celebrated for its technical skill and aesthetic appeal.
Bosschaert spent his later years working in various cities, including Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Breda, before he died in The Hague in 1621. His profound influence on the Dutch Golden Age of painting and the floral still life genre established him as a trailblazer who depicted the ephemeral beauty of nature with enduring artistry.
