Garland of Flowers

Garlands of flowers became a specialism in their own right within the overall genre of Flemish floral painting. The theme was developed by Jan Brueghel and perfected by his best-known pupil, Daniel Seghers. The garland customarily surrounds a medallion or cartouche containing a religious image that was usually added by another specialist artist.
