Original Description
Pieter Casteels' August, from 'Twelve Months of Flowers' is a vibrant celebration of summer's botanical abundance. Painted in 1730 as part of a larger floral calendar series, this exquisite still life bursts with meticulously arranged blooms – delphiniums, sunflowers, and poppies intermingle in lush profusion, their petals rendered with almost scientific precision. The composition radiates warmth through its golden-toned background, evoking the golden light of late summer, while the asymmetrical, cascading arrangement demonstrates Casteels' mastery of Baroque exuberance combined with emerging Rococo elegance. As a collaborative work with botanist Robert Furber (who provided the floral specimens), it represents an important intersection of art and science during the early 18th century. The series holds particular significance in horticultural art history, capturing specific cultivars available to English gardeners during the Georgian period, making it as much a historical document as a work of art.
For contemporary display, this radiant floral piece would elevate a dining room or light-filled study with its warm color palette. Consider pairing it with Georgian-style furnishings or clean-lined modern pieces that won't compete with its botanical complexity. The 24×18 inch original size works well above a console table or as part of a salon-style gallery wall with other botanical prints. For color harmony, incorporate the painting's dominant blues and golds through upholstery or ceramics - perhaps indigo throw pillows against a caramel leather chair. In an office setting, it would bring organic warmth to a minimalist space when framed in a thin gilt frame that echoes its historical origins while keeping the overall look contemporary. The painting's vertical format makes it ideal for narrow walls or as a focal point between bookshelves.
