What happens when a contemporary florist attempts to reconstruct a masterpiece from the Dutch Golden Age? Sotheby’s partnered with florist Natalie Yearwood to bring Jan Davidsz. de Heem’s 17th-century still life to life, using seasonal blooms and historical insight to mirror one of the era’s most opulent compositions. Known for his technical brilliance and richly layered arrangements, de Heem elevated still life into a theatrical and symbolic art form. As the florist selects each flower, we glimpse the painstaking precision, deep botanical knowledge, and quiet poetry that defined de Heem’s legacy — and still resonate with collectors and creatives today.
