A highly informative and well presented talk. It was so useful to be able to see the detail of the painting and to spend time focusing on some of the minutiae depicted. Thank you for an enjoyable ten minutes.

I didn’t recognize them as hyacinths because the ones I’m used to look so different. Very interesting!

Fascinating presentation beautifully described. One detail that i did make was how we all depict detail differently. The tulip which was shown in the early part of the presentation Lucy said one of them was dying, I suggest the tulip had its petals taken away so we could view the beautiful inside. I think Van Huysum was an intellect and would show it in this way.

would love to have this hanging above my fireplace, and the other 4 around the house.

Van Huysum was known to produce paired paintings for his clients. Was this part of a set at one time?
