"Lilies, Roses, Irises, Tulips, Narcissi, Carnations and Other Flowers in a Chinese Celadon Ormulu-Mounted Vase, with a Squirrel Monkey, Apricots" is a notable still-life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Balthasar van der Ast. This work exemplifies van der Ast's mastery in depicting intricate details and his ability to combine various elements to create a harmonious composition. The painting features an opulent bouquet of flowers, including lilies, roses, irises, tulips, narcissi, and carnations, arranged in a Chinese celadon vase with ormulu mounts, showcasing the artist's fascination with exotic and luxurious items that were becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands during the 17th century due to the Dutch East India Company's trade.

The inclusion of a squirrel monkey and apricots adds a unique and lively touch to the composition, reflecting the curiosity and interest in the natural world during the era. The monkey, often symbolizing playfulness and mischief in art, contrasts with the serene beauty of the flowers, while the apricots introduce an element of temporality and decay, hinting at the vanitas theme common in Dutch still-life paintings. This theme serves as a reminder of the transience of life and the futility of earthly pleasures.

Balthasar van der Ast was renowned for his detailed and realistic flower still lifes, and this painting is a testament to his skill in capturing the texture, color, and delicacy of each element. The work is celebrated for its intricate composition, the vibrancy of its colors, and its rich symbolism, making it a significant contribution to the genre of still-life painting in the Dutch Golden Age. Through this painting, van der Ast not only showcases his technical prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and artistic interests of 17th-century Dutch society.
