Johan van Hulstijn artwork • painting • for sale A still life with roses, tulips, primula and other flowers

Johan van Hulstijn specialized in painting and watercolouring flowers and fruits. He showed so much talent that he was asked to provide the illustrations for volume 8 of the Flora Batava. Many well-known flower painters contributed to this standard work by Jan Kops, which appeared in twenty-eight volumes between 1800 and 1934. Van Hulstijn lived and worked alternately in Amsterdam, Delft and Utrecht (until 1848) and then moved permanently to Trieste, where his sister lived.
