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.
Snowdrops, native to Europe and the Middle East, are among the first flowers to bloom at the end of winter, often pushing through snow and ice thanks to natural antifreeze compounds in their cells. Their delicate, nodding white flowers have long symbolized hope and new beginnings, and in folklore, they were believed to bring bad luck if picked and brought indoors.
