John Scott (Attributed)
Title: Still Life with Floral Arrangement in Architectural Setting
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 52 x 79 inches (Framed)
Date: Early 19th Century
Signature: Lower right

This magnificent and monumental oil painting, attributed to John Scott, presents a richly detailed still life scene framed by classical architecture and a distant pastoral landscape. Overflowing with flowers—roses, peonies, chrysanthemums, and irises—the composition exudes opulence and technical mastery. Vibrant fruits and carefully placed objects further enrich the tableau, showcasing a deep understanding of naturalistic representation and compositional harmony.

Rendered in a style reminiscent of 18th- and early 19th-century European academic painters, Scott’s work merges romanticism with classical precision. The painting is encased in a richly ornamented period-style gilt frame and remains in remarkable condition for its age, with warm patina and minor signs of historical restoration.

Artist Bio – John Scott (Active Early 1800s)
Little is recorded about John Scott’s life, but he is noted for his skill in floral and still life compositions during the early 19th century. Working in a tradition that revered Dutch still life and English academic influence, Scott’s works are often large-scale and exquisitely detailed, appealing to both collectors of classical fine art and those drawn to refined interiors. His rare pieces, when they surface, are typically held in private collections or historical estates.
