More about this artwork

"Blumenstück" (Flower Piece), an exquisite painting from 1831 by Franz Xaver Petter, showcases the artist’s remarkable talent in capturing the vibrancy and texture of nature. This still life painting presents a profusion of flowers and fruits arranged on a wooden ledge, set against a rich, dark background that serves to enhance the vivid colors of the composition.The assortment of flowers in the painting is both diverse and striking, including tulips, hydrangeas, roses, and an eye-catching bird of paradise. Each flower is rendered with meticulous attention to detail, from the delicate veins on the petals to the subtle gradations of color. The composition also features lush clusters of grapes and plump, ripe grapes, contributing an element of abundance and fecundity to the scene.Adding another layer of life and realism to the painting are the butterflies that flit gracefully around the arrangement. Their inclusion not only adds a sense of movement and delicacy but also deepens the viewer’s sense of a captured moment in time.Franz Xaver Petter's "Blumenstück" is not merely a depiction of a floral arrangement, but a celebration of nature’s textures and colors, demonstrating the artist’s skill in translating the beauty of the natural world onto canvas.

Franz Xaver Andreas Petter (23 October 1791 – 11 May 1866) was an Austrian artist. Petter was born in Lichtental; his father was a painter of porcelain, and it was intended that he should follow in the same profession, but Petter developed an interest in oil painting. He studied under Johann Baptist Drechsler at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.

Franz Xaver Petter was one of the most important still-life artists of the Biedermeier period in Vienna. He specialised in floral arrangements, and later arrangements of fruit, and landscapes with flowers, continuing the Dutch Golden Age flower still life depicting traditions. Petter's pictures were very popular with the Austrian nobility.

Petter married Catherine Hamböck (1793-1858). They had two sons, Theodore, who became an artist, and Gustav, a musician. Franz Xaver Petter died in May 1866 in Vienna.
