The single works of the painter created for the most important commissions experience a new elegant and rich style, aimed at freeing themselves from a strictly botanical and didactic repertoire. In this work the painter strengthens his inventiveness reaching the highest quality level with refined floral compositions in single vase. The central nucleus: dolphins, tulips, carnations, roses, etc. emanate a central light that makes them alive and light as feathers which is matched by the painter's sensitivity and Caravaggesque aesthetics, putting the flowers behind them in chiaroscuro shade. In this way the chromatic happiness of the foreground is enhanced. Typical of Mario dè Fiori: the Caravaggism inherited from Salini, the exhibition imprint, the detailed descriptiveness of the flowers permeated by a luministic chromatism. Furthermore, the reference to the tradition of the Flemish and Dutch masters of the end of the 16th century is evident. Despite the frontal setting of the painting, the airy arrangement of the flowers gives a spatial depth and breadth of breath to the floral composition. Oval in a coeval frame in gilded wood.
