"Basket of Flowers" is a still life painting by the French Baroque artist Jacques Linard, created in 1639. The painting is renowned for its meticulous detail and rich symbolism, characteristic of the still life genre during the 17th century. Linard's work is often noted for its intricate compositions and the artist's skillful use of color and texture to render a variety of objects, particularly flowers and fruits, with a high degree of realism.

The painting depicts a wicker basket overflowing with an assortment of flowers, showcasing Linard's ability to capture the delicate nuances of each petal and leaf. The composition is carefully balanced, with the basket placed against a dark background that serves to highlight the vibrancy and variety of the floral arrangement. The selection of flowers in the basket is not random; each type of flower typically held symbolic meaning in the language of flowers that was popular at the time, often conveying messages about life, death, and the transience of beauty.

Jacques Linard (1597–1645) was a member of the Parisian school of still life painters, a group that played a significant role in the development of the genre in France. "Basket of Flowers" is considered one of his masterpieces and reflects the influence of the Dutch and Flemish still life traditions, which Linard and his contemporaries helped to assimilate into French artistic practice.

The painting is not only an example of Linard's technical prowess but also serves as a reflection of the cultural and artistic interests of the period. It is a testament to the growing appreciation for still life painting in early modern Europe and the fascination with nature, scientific exploration, and the collection of exotic and rare botanical specimens.

"Basket of Flowers" is held in high regard by art historians and is often included in discussions of the evolution of still life painting in Europe. The work is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its beauty and historical significance.
