Artist Story | Cornelia Francisca Vreede (1893–1982) was a Dutch artist born in Sidoarjo, Java, Indonesia, during the time of Dutch colonial rule. She spent her early years in Java but later settled in the Netherlands.
Cornelia's artistic work included prints, such as the striking floral-themed piece "Vaas Met Bloemen," which is held by the Rijksmuseum. The exact span of her artistic career is unclear as little is known about Vreede.
Artwork Narrative | "Vaas met bloemen" by Cornelia Vreede is a delicate floral print. The design is printed on handmade Japanese paper, this adds to the subtle textures and intricate details of the open flowers.
The print captures natural beauty with simplicity and elegance, typical of many floral still-life artworks from this period. The use of heavy black ink contrasted with negative space adds a brooding quality, lending the common subject matter a sense of interest and intrigue.
