Inspiration from Old Master Paintings

I just finished painting this image on copper screening. The original still life painting was painted by a 17th Century French old master painter. What I like most about the image is the landscape behind the still life (plus the white doves). I changed some of the coloring on the flowers and added a carved stone wall. I like to set the urn close to the edge of the wall to create some depth. Caravaggio used this composition in his still life paintings. Let me know your thoughts.
