After studying architectural drawing at the Antwerp academy, Van Dael left his native city in 1786 and settled
in Paris. Under the influence of Gerard van Spaendonck, he specialized in flower painting. He obtained a rapid success
and commissions to decorate the castles of Saint-Cloud, Bellevue and Chantilly. He attracted a clientele of collectors and important patrons; the empress Josephine, a flower lover, acquired at least two of his works for her
at least two of his works for her cabinet at the Château de Malmaison.
In addition to large bouquets composed in the northern tradition of Van Huysum, Van Dael painted several
still lifes centred on a single small vase of a few flowers, here a blooming Pierre de Ronsard rose
and others still in bud. The transparency of the glass, the drops of water on the foliage reinforce the realism and
the virtuoso limpidity of this painting.
