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.
Icelandic poppies were originally found in subarctic regions, and were cultivated for their delicate beauty and resilience in harsh climates.
Once cultivated by the Ottoman Empire, tulips became a much sought after flower and ignited the tulip mania in 17th-century Netherlands, where their bulbs were once worth as much as town houses.
