Flowers of the Renaissance
Celia Fisher (Author), J. Paul Getty Museum (Publisher)
From the sunflower in Van Dyck's self-portrait to roses scattered around Botticelli's Venus to columbines in the borders of fifteenth-century manuscripts, flowers grace many Renaissance artworks. Their symbolic meanings, however, may be lost on the modern viewer. This is the first book to untangle the richly layered botanical messages in many of the world's great masterpieces
