    Perennial Muses: Flowers in Art
    Have you ever wondered about the hidden messages blooming within famous
    paintings? Throughout the history of art, flowers have been more than just beautiful
    decorations - they've served as powerful symbols, carrying secret meanings known to
    artists and their patrons. From the purity of lilies in Renaissance Madonnas to the
    fleeting nature of life represented by wilting bouquets in Dutch still lifes, each petal and
    stem tells a story. This fascinating exploration of flora in art will unveil the language of
    flowers, revealing how these delicate blooms have shaped our visual culture and
    continue to inspire artists - and flower lovers! - to this day.
