"December," from the series "Twelve Months of Flowers," is a significant work by Pieter Casteels III, a Flemish painter known for his still lifes and botanical illustrations. Created in 1730, this series showcases the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his profound understanding of botanical subjects. Each painting in the series represents a different month of the year, with "December" highlighting the flowers that are typically associated with the winter season in the 18th century.

Casteels' "December" is characterized by its vibrant composition, featuring a variety of flowers that bloom in December or are emblematic of the winter season. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the delicate textures and colors of each flower, creating a harmonious and visually appealing composition. The work not only serves as a piece of decorative art but also as a botanical reference, reflecting the interest in botany and the study of plants that was prevalent during Casteels' time.

Born in Antwerp in 1684, Pieter Casteels III moved to England in the early 18th century, where he established himself as a prominent painter and engraver. His "Twelve Months of Flowers" series was commissioned by Robert Furber, a nurseryman, and is considered one of Casteels' masterpieces. The series was intended for a dual purpose: to serve as an artistic endeavor and to function as a catalog for Furber's nursery, showcasing the plants available for purchase.

"December," along with the rest of the series, was published as engravings, allowing for wider dissemination and contributing to Casteels' fame. The series is notable for its influence on both art and horticulture, blending aesthetic beauty with scientific interest. Today, "December" and the "Twelve Months of Flowers" series are celebrated for their historical significance and artistic merit, offering insights into 18th-century botanical art and the cultural context in which they were created.
