Floral oil paintings have been a popular art form for centuries, capturing the beauty and vibrancy of flowers in a lasting medium. The tradition of floral painting dates back to ancient civilizations, with examples found in Egyptian tombs and Roman frescoes. During the Renaissance, floral motifs became increasingly prominent in both secular and religious art.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, floral painting experienced a resurgence, with artists like impressionists and Post-Impressionists exploring new techniques and styles to depict flowers in innovative ways. The use of vibrant colors, loose brushstrokes, and attention to light and shadow became hallmarks of this era.
This painting was done in 1979 by a lovely lady, named Anna Tietjen of St. George, Utah, who passed away in 2024 at the age of 99.
