As though floating in front of their blue-grey backdrop, these water lilies shine with pure floral radiance. For Meissen painter Horst Bretschneider, it is these types of everyday observations of nature and its fleeting beauty that inspire him to his virtuoso works of art. With but a few colours, this master of nature painting creates evocative snapshots in time, breathing life and vibrancy into them with subtle nuances.

For the 2019 "Limited Masterworks" collection, Bretschneider has embellished a group of vases shaped like spinning tops with opulent water lilies. What sets this motif apart is that, in a break with traditional flower painting, he does not present the water lilies as a bouquet. Instead, the group of vases lends the impression of viewing a lily pond, whereby each vase depicts a different circular segment of the pond. The avant-garde design of the vases at once facilitates and limits the motif. Upon closer inspection, the clean, sleek design vocabulary reveals subtle hints to their artisanal production: hand-thrown and decorated in lavish artwork, each vase is a one of a kind.
