About this book
Flowers in Christian painting carry meanings, and Elizabeth Haig's 1913 book explains them for amateurs who care more about the idea behind a picture than the painter's technique. Chapters take up the lily, iris, rose, carnation, columbine, olive, thorns, palm, acanthus, fleur-de-lys, vine, pomegranate and strawberry, along with the lilies of the Annunciation and the flowers of the Virgin. Examples range from Hugo van der Goes and Memling to Murillo and Rossetti. Haig leaves art criticism aside and takes attributions mostly from the official catalogues of the galleries.
