"Chinese Plate with Artichokes, Rose, and Strawberry," Giovanna Garzoni, 1652-60.
Garzoni (1600-70) was an Italian Baroque painter. She started off doing religious and historical subjects but made her fame with her still lifes, painted with great detail and precision.
Her family is believed to have been artists (many details of her early life is unknown) and it's believed she apprenticed under her uncle. She was known as "the chaste Giovanna," as she refused to marry and wanted to remain a virgin; I wonder if she just didn't want to be bothered and wanted to focus on her work. She became so popular that she could name her own price, and died a wealthy woman.
This style of still life was popular, with botanic objects displayed on Asian ceramics, which were a huge status symbol. We've got a pink rose but the artichokes dominate...and they're flower buds, believe it or not.
Happy Flower Friday!
From the Palazzo Pitti, Florence.

Musical Interlude: Whenever I post art by Georgia O'Keefe, I think of this song. I don't know if I've posted this but I just HAVE to post it. I love this band, and this song is a funny little hoot.
"Shake the Dew Off the Lily," performed by Saffire: The Uppity Blues Women.

"White Flower," Georgia O'Keefe, 1929.
O'Keefe (1887-1986) is an ultra-famous painter, even today. Her studies of plants from extreme close-ups are topics of debate and conversation forty years after her death.
Many felt, and still feel today, that her work was an exploration of female anatomy and sexuality, but O'Keefe always vehemently denied it. Her reasoning was that by studying organic forms in extreme close-up, she reduced them to studies in color, pattern, and form.
No matter how you interpret her work, it's still worth checking out.Happy Flower Friday!

Good morning. The bees have discovered our begonia flowers! I managed to take a photo of a bee in flight while it was harvesting pollen.
