Still lifes and mostly flowers basket are an interesting subject because the flowers selection was in reality determinate by a specific and precise symbolic. For example, the tulip is a richness and power symbol (cf the “tulipomania” episode and the following financial crisis in 1737). Some flowers and other stuff can also evocates the Christianity : the butterfly is a spirituality symbol and associated with the soul and the Christian salvation; eyelets “flower of God” evocates the Passion of Christ because of their nail shape, but also fidelity, as the periwinkles, which are also associated to the worship of Virgin Mary.
