About the Artwork

What blooms, wilts. What lives, molts. What shines, dims. Jan van Kessel arranges these truths like opera props—florals in decline, ornament without owner, a skull balancing its last adornment: a tangled coronet of gold crowning a future never known.

On this phone case, the image freezes a baroque monologue in mid-line: beauty gags itself with its own excess. Not a warning, but a waltz of slow endings. Each object—beetle, button, rose—is painted with impossible attentiveness, as if attention alone could outpace entropy.

There’s no gloom here, only elegance on the verge. The iPhone case becomes a handheld altar, whispering in 17th-century Dutch: all this, too, shall pass—so let it gleam while it does.

Artist Biography

Jan van Kessel (1626–1679) spun the natural world into gold. A Flemish painter of the Antwerp guild, he captured insects, blossoms, seashells, and mythologies with jewel-like clarity, each canvas a cabinet of curiosities. Grandson of Jan Brueghel the Elder, van Kessel inherited a legacy of meticulous observation and infused it with luminous serenity. His still lifes—teeming with butterflies, botanical wonders, and marine life—offered both devotion and display, a Baroque marriage of science and art. Revered across Europe, his works adorned Habsburg palaces and aristocratic collections, preserving a universe in miniature. Today, Jan van Kessel endures as a poet of precision.
