First things first - how the item arrived
This art piece was so incredibly well packaged! I am thoroughly impressed with how much care went in to making sure it did not get broken, bent, or torn. The box it was shipped in was very easy to open but simultaneously taped up in a way to protect it. On top of the care of the box and tape, it was also wrapped in plastic to help protect it from the elements should it have gotten stuck in a rainstorm or some such other situation.
Next, the positives
I absolutely one hundred and ten percent adore this. Im in the process of redecorating and have chosen a dark cottagecore meets Maximalism aesthetic and feel like this piece will fit wonderfully on what is to be my gallery wall. I am not a fan of yelloworange tones and am focusing on having mainly cool tones with hints of red however, even though it has those tones in the piece it isnt what I deem as loud.
This Dutch still life might remind the viewer that real flowers, like everything else in the world, must inevitably wilt and die (Source National Gallery of Art). The singular light source against the subject with a black background creates a crisp effect, illuminating each part of the bouquet and even the small insects underneath (which if I am being completely honest the snail and caterpillar are my favorite parts).
To top it off it came with all the necessary hardware to hang it up! Even a tiny little level!!
Finally, the negatives
Im not a huge fan of the multiple huge staples holding the canvas into place on the wood. Thats it. Thats the only negative I can see.
