The artwork, titled "Diptych with flowers and insects" beautifully combines elements of nature and symbolism. In this print, we are presented with an exquisite display of vibrant flowers alongside various intricate insects. A moth delicately rests on a leaf while a snail leisurely makes its way across the composition. A butterfly gracefully flutters nearby as a caterpillar crawls along a stem. The presence of a dragonfly adds an ethereal touch to the scene. One cannot help but be drawn to the central focus of this diptych - a winged skull adorned with Latin inscriptions. This intriguing symbol invites contemplation about life's transience and mortality. The use of marouflage technique on parchment panel gives this artwork an added depth and texture, enhancing its visual impact. Every stroke and minute detail is meticulously executed by Hoefnagel, showcasing his mastery over still-life painting. Currently housed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lille, France, this piece continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
