Græskarfad med æbler, Blommer, Ras;pberries and Grapes On The Vine
Græskarfad med æbler, Blommer, Ras;pberries and Grapes On The Vine by Danish Painter Johan Laurentz Jensen (1800 – 1856); who was a still life flower painter
This is a beautiful representation of a Still Life flower painting with a small pumpkin as the central focus of the artwork in what appears to be a fruit garden.
The pumpkin sits as the center piece in a weaved pattern platter that rest on a brown marble table; and it is surrounded by apples, peaches, raspberries and other fruits.
Above the pumpkin and other fruits that are on the table are a beautiful collection of red and golden grapes that are interspersed in an abundance of beautifully colored large green leaves that transition off into the distance of warm reddish tones.

Johan begyndte sin kunstuddannelse på Det Danske Kunstakademi og var elev af både den danske maler Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg (1783 – 1853) og danske Blomstermaler Cladius (Claus) Detlev Fritzsch (1765 – 1841).
He decided to sepcialize in flower paingting and continued his artistic education in Paris France under the Flemish flower painting brothers Gérard van Spaendonck (1746 – 1822) og Cornelis van Spaendonck (1756 – 1839), samt på porcelænsfabrikken i Sèvres, Hauts-de-Seine, Frankrig (one of Europes principle porcelain factories founded in 1740) hvor han lærte kunsten at miniatureblomstermaleri.
Back in Denmark Johan used 17th century Dutch flower painting as a starting point to deveople his own unique style; genoplive blomsterkunst i Danmark.
Hans maleri havde generelt blomsterarrangementer, der var både dekorative og symbolske; da danske planter ofte blev blandet med sjældne blomster og frugter og engang fugle.
