A Short History of Flower Paintings
Flower paintings have long captured the beauty and symbolism of flowers, serving as visual tributes to the natural world. Emerging as a genre of still life in the 17th century, these works often reflected society’s fascination with rare and exotic blooms like tulips, which were prized commodities at the time. When tulip bulbs became prohibitively expensive, artists created tulip paintings as affordable stand-ins for their ephemeral beauty.
One of the most famous flower paintings is Georgia O’Keeffe’s Oriental Poppies. Departing from traditional still life approaches, O’Keeffe filled her canvases with oversized blossoms, transforming their delicate petals into near-abstract forms. Similarly, Claude Monet’s iconic Blue Water Lilies, inspired by his own garden, explores the interplay of light, water, and floral reflections, offering viewers a meditative experience.
In Japan, flower paintings focused on cherry blossoms, a symbol of fleeting beauty. Hokusai’s Bullfinch on Weeping Cherry captures the elegance of spring blossoms, presenting a delicate balance of nature’s grace and fleetingness.
