"Butterflies, Moths, and Other Insects with a Sprig of Periwinkle" is a 17th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Jan van Kessel the Elder, who was renowned for his detailed still lifes and works depicting flora and fauna. This painting is part of a series in which Van Kessel meticulously rendered various insects, showcasing his keen interest in naturalism and the scientific study of nature that was emerging during the Baroque period.

The artwork features an array of insects including butterflies, moths, and beetles, arranged around a central sprig of periwinkle. The insects are depicted with precise brushwork, highlighting Van Kessel's skill in capturing the delicate textures and patterns of their wings and bodies. His work not only reflects the aesthetic appreciation of nature's beauty but also the growing curiosity about the natural world and its meticulous documentation during the age of exploration and scientific discovery.

Jan van Kessel the Elder, born into a family of prominent artists, was the grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder and a member of the Brueghel dynasty. He was particularly influenced by his grandfather's detailed landscapes and still lifes, which is evident in his own approach to depicting nature. "Butterflies, Moths, and Other Insects with a Sprig of Periwinkle" exemplifies Van Kessel's contribution to the genre of still life and natural illustration, combining art with scientific observation.

The painting is notable for its contribution to the understanding of entomology in art, as it serves as both a visual delight and a record of insect species during the period. It is a testament to the cross-pollination of art and science in the Baroque era and remains a significant work for its artistic merit and historical value in the study of natural history illustration.
