Basket of Flowers No. 1 | Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer Floral Chromolithograph

This vivid 1948 chromolithograph, Basket of Flowers No. 1, reproduces a floral still life by the celebrated 17th-century French painter Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer. Published by Catalda Fine Arts of New York, the piece features Monnoyer’s signature abundance of detail — a profusion of roses, lilies, and carnations arranged in a yellow basket, dramatically set against a black background for timeless visual impact.

Printed using the chromolithographic process, this vintage reproduction showcases rich color layering and tonal depth rarely achieved in modern offset printing. The deep saturation and painterly texture echo the lush elegance of baroque interiors while remaining versatile for modern styling.

About the Artist

Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer (1636–1699) was a French still life painter renowned for his opulent floral compositions. He worked at the Gobelins tapestry manufactory and later in England, where he contributed to Hampton Court Palace. His refined style set the standard for decorative flower painting for generations.

Just like the majority of our inventory at Pink Flamingos, this listing is vintage and has never been displayed or used. It's from limited, unopened stock sourced directly from the original manufacturer or distributer. As a result, its colors are more vibrant than those typically found in similarly aged prints, leading us to classify it as "new." Curious about new vintage?
