A gorgeous volume demonstrating how flowers are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists of every era

Fragile yet powerful, flowers speak a language that transcends centuries and cultures. They narrate emotions, celebrate beauty, silently protest and preserve age-old tales. Bringing the multifaceted cultural history of flowers to life in impressive ways, this beautiful volume, comprising works from international collections (including the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Petit Palais and Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, alongside the botanical and scientific collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London and the Museo Civico di Zoologia in Rome), offers works by Jan Brueghel the Younger, Hannah Höch, Andreas Gursky, Ann Carrington, Ai Weiwei and many others, along with the latest experimentation with digital technologies in contemporary art. Based on a stunning exhibition at the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, this publication offers an unprecedented interpretation of the role flowers have played in the evolution of our history and society.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

With objects from art, design, fashion and natural science, Flowers offers a fascinating, elaborately staged tour through the cultural history of flowers from antiquity to the present day.
Fragile and powerful, flowers speak a universal language that transcends centuries and cultures. They narrate emotions, celebrate beauty, silently protest, and preserve age-old tales. It is precisely to them that the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome dedicates an extraordinary exhibition.
'Flowers are much more than simple decorative elements,' explains Natalia de Marco, Artistic Director of the Chiostro del Bramante. 'They act as universal symbols, epitomising every aspect of life: from resilience to spirituality, from love to conflict, from science to ecology.' This sensory adventure comes to life in an exhibition that combines works from the past and the present, offering the public an unprecedented interpretation of the role flowers have played in the evolution of our history and society.
