This comrade since the beginning of 90s below $ 500,000 did not go away.
Probably because of the rarity of such units in the world.: Rolleyes:

Could be the same fashion for 1-2 grades, say tulips, for 100 -150 years.

But really: in the center of each track with bi-tonal bitmap tulip petals (as in clever is I do not remember - and do not want to remember: before last winter, two hundred most expensive bulbs disappeared without a trace). A monochromatic tulips as if he did not. Maybe it's expensive varieties were then?

These tulips were called tiger, if not oshibayus.V Dutch tulip cultivation in those days it was quite profitable delom.Mnogo sold at eksport.Byl case when the strong deficit of tulip bulbs its value greatly vozrosla.Torgovets sold bulbs per house, quite impressive razmerov.A combination of colors in the paintings fueled both fashion and symbolism. The works were allegoricheskimi.Esche from artists in the workshop was an enormous amount of painstakingly painted beetles, flowers, etc. .. Separately fona.Bukety without these, a sort of compilation or collage ... flowers quickly wither, and that forced artists to resort to this method .

The works were allegorical.

It's true!
Each flower or moth bore in itself a symbol. According to these and painted still lifes.
It was something like love letters to each other and other symbols.

"Reading" still life was a sort of intellectual game. Any object or phenomenon could be revisited in different aspects, with different code setting. The objects presented in the still life could have been perceived in various ways - in the vein of love symbols, in the moral and didactic, as a religious allegory (thus the "meaning" go back to "low" to "high", with the idea of starting from a concrete object).
Erasmus wrote: "Every thing has two faces ... and this person does not resemble one another. Outside, as if death, and look inside - you'll see life, and, conversely, a life of hiding death for beauty - a disgrace, a plethora - abject poverty, a shame - the glory, the doctrine - the ignorance, under the power - squalor, a noble -- meanness, a joy - sorrow for prosperity - failure under friendship - rivalry, a benefit - harm. All this was an excuse to create still lifes with flowers, which are developed through the symbolism of flowers, fruits and objects, into an exciting narrative.

emblematic collections, published throughout the XVII century, is a good tool in deciphering the paintings. Those who were acquainted with this literature, have not experienced much difficulty in the interpretation of paintings. For example, white lily talked about chastity. White Rose testified platonic love, and red - on the flesh. Tulips were a symbol of rapidly receding beauty, breeding of these colors was considered one of the most vain and futile exercise. Wilted flower hinted at the loss of feeling, but thistles tied with the notion of evil.

And here's another one of the scientific work of the tulips, the same colors and so on.:

Save documents showing the direct contacts between botanists, gardeners and painters. Composition as the Flemish and Dutch works rather stereotyped: a tight bunch, gathered in a vase or basket, combined with a few flowers scattered apart. By being so characteristic of the time, interest in the variety of forms of nature, the artists were injected in their floral still life images of grasshoppers, butterflies, flies, lizards, frogs, shells, even the rare birds.

In the most lush bouquets can count up to thirty varieties of flowers, besides flowering at different times of the year. These paintings were created, of course not from nature, but on the basis of preliminary Studies, and the artist's purpose was to show the richness and beauty of the kingdom of Flora, regardless of the season.

Of particular interest are the exotic imported plants: varieties of tulips from Iran, "the king's hair" from Afghanistan, from Mexico, marigolds, nasturtiums from Peru. It is possible that in these still lifes, some role played also the symbolic significance of the flower: in the lower parts of the bouquet of lilies of the valley is often portrayed (virginity) and violet (modesty).

Literal repetition of individual motifs was facilitated by the existence of Studies with plants. Thus, Studies of Jan Bruegel Velvet had the opportunity to use Ambrosius Bosschaert Senior. This is evident from his works: white iris at the top of the bouquet in the picture Ambrosius Bosschaert "Flowers in a metal vase" is absolutely similar to the flower on the same spot in a flower still life by Jan Brueghel the Velvet. White Narcissus in Still Life Flowers in a wooden barrel, "by Jan Brueghel repeated in" Flowers in a Chinese Vase "Ambrosius Bosschaert.

Borrow from each other other artists colors. For example, Balthasar van der Asta in his film "Tulpan, Columbine, shells and insects" (1636) shows the same butterfly that in Still Life with Fruit Dish and Pitcher "Ambrosius Bosschaert Elder. Balthasar van der Ast repeats not only the individual parts, but also songs Ambrosius Bosschaert Elder: in the "Bouquet and crystal glasses", in "Bouquet in a metal vase.

Many borrowed from his father Johannes Bosschaert, as in the painting "Fruit Basket", he takes to the track B. van der Asta.

sergejnowo, you have the top - blown tulip, then white and pink roses and 3 peach - is clearly "love still life" or "love letter" --

"Beauty is very transient, but when it is in bloom, it causes a feeling at first platonic, which pererostaet in sensual love, and then close and the fall (Peaches)

Can someone help to reveal a pair of characters on the example of a picture.
I should be grateful in advance.

now let's solve Bosschaert can all hook ...

Here a little tips:
  roses, wild flowers, insects - the brevity of human existence;

  butterflies and dragonflies - the salvation of the soul; hourglass, the smoking lamp, tubes, soap

  bubbles, a house of cards - transience of human life;

  old books - bygone era;

  musical instruments - they sound so beautiful and fleeting;

  flowers, ears of corn, fruit, lemons - the seasons.

• Semantic Zone floral still life:
  at the very bottom of the vase - signs of impermanence (broken or wilted flowers, petals, empty shells, caterpillars, flies);

  Mid - symbols of modesty and purity (lilies, violets, forget-me, cyclamen);

  top - the crown of virtue (large single flower).
