In the solemn world of Dutch still life painting, I think the most elegant are Rachel Ruysch's luxuriously detailed flowers. In an economy dominated by the sale of rare tulip bulbs, flower paintings served as a spiritual reminder as well—that all beauty fades, but that it should be guarded and appreciated while it blooms. Is this metaphor too heavy-handed? Maybe. But wearing a mask protects the people you love most, and this one is really nice. It's washable, adjustable, can hold a filter, and of course, looks like a beautiful 17th century bouquet.
