This painting is part of a modern day florilegium. The word florilegium originates from the latin ‘gather’ and ‘flower’. At a time when photography was not yet invented, artists recorded newly discovered plants and flowers through paint.
Ranunculus were once prized in Persian gardens, hence their common name ‘Persian buttercups’. They later captivated European courts, becoming a sought-after bloom. Daffodils have deep roots in folk traditions, where they were often planted near homes to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune. Snowdrops symbolise hope and new beginnings, and in folklore, they were believed to bring bad luck if picked and brought indoors.
