Pair of still lifes with vase of flowers and birds

Oil painting on canvas. North-Italy school. Beautiful compositions with a bunch of assorted flowers in shades of red (which refer to the covers of the tables), white and brown, presented in precious embossed metal vases; peculiar is the presence in both canvases of the little bird placed on the table next to the vase. The two compositions refer to the large production of still lifes, which began to develop widely from the seventeenth century thanks to Caravaggio who believed "that he had so much manufacture to make a good picture of flowers, as of figures". This affirmation gave dignity and autonomy to still life and the start of a production of works by various authors, starting from the Roman Caravaggesque school but then extending widely to the production of Northern Italy and Flemish, which reached up to the 1900s. This type of painting is often found in pairs for a specific request of the client, given the express purpose of furniture that it had. The two works proposed here are presented in a remarkable contemporary frame, in carved wood with leafy and gilded scrolls.
