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 word poppy comes from the Latin papaver, likely linked to pappa meaning porridge, as poppy juice was once used to soothe infants, and the name passed into English through medieval herbal books, reflecting both the flower’s soft appearance and its long association with sleep and medicine.
