"Flowers in a Glass Vase" is an oil painting dating approximately to 1619, created by renowned Dutch Golden Age painter Ambrosius Bosscha the Elder. Significantly to the genre of flower still lifes, Bosschaert assimilated various flora into a single captivating composition. The painting's lavish depiction of a bouquet of flowers, captured in bloom inside a glass vase, embodies the artist's mastery over detail, colour, and exactitude. Vibrant tulips, roses, carnations, and forget-me-nots dominate the bouquet, while a butterfly and a fly add a touch of animate vitality to the predominantly inanimate arrangement, a touch characteristic of the early 17th-century Dutch still lifes.

As was customary with Bosschaert's ouvre, the flowers are not arranged as they bloom in nature or in accordance with seasonality, but are brought together from different seasons, underscoring the concept of the transience of life, a popular theme found in Memento mori art. The painting further presents a study in texture and light, with the refractions of the clear glass vase and the delicate, intricate petal strokes lending the painting a deep sense of realism and symbolic meaning. Also, it represents one of the earliest instances of flower still lifes in Western art history, a trend that blossomed extensively in the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age period.

"Flowers in a Glass Vase" emerges as a confluence of Bosschaert's technical finesse, meticulous observation, and symbolic contemplation, making it a masterwork in the canon of flower still lifes. Not only noted for its aesthetic appeal, but the painting also provides deep insights into botany, a discipline growing during this period, and human interaction with nature. As such, importantly, Bosschaert's "Flowers in a Glass Vase" continues to be celebrated for its scientific precision, spectacular realism, and profound symbolism. It remains housed today in the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom, emanating the enduring appeal and significance of Bosschaert's contribution to the Dutch Golden Age of painting and the genre of still life.
