Original Description
Pieter Casteels' "September, from 'Twelve Months of Flowers'" is a vibrant celebration of horticultural abundance that captures the essence of late summer's luxuriance. Created in 1730 as part of his groundbreaking florilegium series, this copperplate engraving with hand-coloring showcases over 80 blossoming species – from cascading morning glories to proud sunflowers – arranged in an impossibly elegant cornucopia. The composition exemplifies the transitional period between Dutch Golden Age still life precision and emerging Rococo playfulness, with each botanical specimen rendered in exacting scientific detail while collectively creating a rhythmic dance of colors and forms. As one of the first artists to systematically document seasonal blooms through sequential monthly studies, Casteels bridged botanical illustration and decorative arts, influencing subsequent generations of floral painters. The work's historical significance lies in both its documentary accuracy (many cultivars depicted are now extinct) and its role in popularizing flower symbolism during the early 18th century.
For interior styling, this masterpiece would elevate a light-filled breakfast nook or formal sitting room with its warm autumnal palette. Choose a matted frame in distressed gold leaf to complement the artwork's period origins, sized approximately 24x36 inches for optimal visual impact. Position it against sage green or ochre walls where the crimson dahlias and golden marigolds can truly sing, perhaps flanked by Georgian-style console tables. In a corporate setting, the print would bring organic sophistication to a boardroom when paired with rich walnut paneling and brass accents. For contemporary spaces, consider displaying just the central floral cluster as a zoomed-in canvas print, creating a bold focal point above a minimalist credenza. The work's vertical format makes it ideal for narrow walls in transitional spaces like hallways, where viewers can pause to appreciate each meticulously painted petal.
