Spring. In a wonderful time of year, let the gentle inflorescence surround us even on the Internet. The work of the hero of this article "blooms", and no other words can be found here.

*He is often called the ** flower of Raphael *, master of still life and the greatest artist of his time for the gentleness, freedom, perfection and lifestyle attached to it. He achieved the impression of sufficiency and loyalty of color proportions.

** Jan van Heusum was born April 15, 1682 in a family of artists. He studied painting with his father, Justus Bath Huysum, competing with his brothers, who, incidentally, also liked art. **

Everyone's life consists of black and white stripes. With Jan's case, these bands marked two periods of his work: working on a dark background (before) and on the light (golden time in the artist's creative life).

** The glow of the flowers, the clarity of the dew, without exception, is very interesting in his paintings. The fruit is amazingly beautiful and like the fruit of a candle. Everything is presented with great certainty and gives the illusion of an absolute reality. The painter used to sketch the various elements, from which he then composed the image. **

It is interesting that Jan van Heusum in his work is amazingly closed, not allowing anyone to watch his work. Preparation of oil, paints, varnishes are kept in deep secrecy.

He greatly appreciates the work of Goethe artists:

"Natural light not only covers all parts of things, but also through the reflection of light gives them clarity and uniqueness.This approach is very effective when writing thin branches, coniferous or flower type cones, which do not have a large continuous silhouette. equally, all parts, thanks to Chinese paint and carcasses, away from each other and located at the edge,creating in front of us the effects of reality itself. Every color, even light, is darker than white paper, and has the same yet same property as light and shadow effects that visually push pieces of pattern from each other and from the foreground. "

It is known that Heusum got married at the age of 22 and "folded" all the world flowers to the feet of his lover - Margarita Shouten. Funny even his name is flower.

By this time he has taken his place as an artist, working well and making money well. His work is affordable only nobles, and everything that is not available to ordinary people, and invites the rich. However, the Hayesum family never knew the shortcomings.

He painted flowers for years, in principle only from nature. Perhaps, he is a romantic perfectionist or a true voter, or even a boring person. Who knows ...

It is remarkable positive is the image of the greatest silent master of Dutch life - Jan van Heusum. The fertility and juiciness of his brushworks is fun and inspiring. The smell of fragrant flowers spun on the head in a whirlwind, and the fruit ripened and asked in hand.
