Paperblanks Pencil case Van Huysum

More lush than the best arrangement: Our Van Huysum cover is inspired by a painting by Jan van Huysum (1682–1749). No one likely masters this highly revered motif of Dutch art – the flower – better than Van Huysum. Revitalizing for the soul: This still life is anything but still.

More lush and lifelike than the best arrangement: Our notebook cover seemingly brings the painting by Jan van Huysum, on which it is based, directly from the paper to your table. It captivates the eye and enlivens the soul – this still life is anything but still. On the contrary: it bursts with colors and details.

No one likely masters this highly revered motif of Dutch art – the flower – better than Van Huysum. Dutch still lifes are the epitome of form, and nowhere is this more evident than in his still life with flowers and fruits.

Amidst dense floral splendor and an abundance of fruits, the artist also hides intriguing details like a single insect or a droplet of dew to attract the eye. He revealed nothing about his technique and allowed no one into his studio, for it was to remain a secret how he mixed and applied his colors. Like the flowers he staged so effectively, his painting technique fascinated but also evaded complete understanding in its bold showmanship.
