The writer discusses the importance of the flower paintings of Jan Brueghel the Elder in the culture of the time. She uses Brueghel's still lifes with flowers as a case history in order to address the establishment and reception of the new genre of flower painting around 1600, contemporary attitudes to the genre (relating to both aesthetic and theoretical issues), and the place of flower paintings in royal collections.
