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.
The name foxglove likely comes from old English folklore, where the flower was thought to be worn by foxes as gloves or mittens; its scientific name, Digitalis, reflects its finger-like flowers, and the plant has a long history of medicinal use, most famously as the source of heart medicine derived from its powerful toxins.
