Since the beginning of time man has appreciated the sheer beauty and remarkable symmetry of the clusters of brightly colored petals surrounding the secretive inner heart of a bloom. Used over the centuries as poignant symbols of love and grief, flowers have entranced and challenged artists to reproduce their perfection onto the confines of a canvas.

Floral paintings, saturated with religious symbolism, were created by artists as early as the 13th century but by the time the early renaissance painters were reaching their artistic peak, symbolism made way for sheer appreciation of floral bouquets as worthy still life subjects. Nowadays, more and more people like to decorate their home with floral paintings. What can make floral paintings so attractive?

How indicative of nature is a floral painting. The cheer and symbolism of flowers can be expressed very easily with a red rose for love, a yellow daffodil to symbolize the rebirth of spring and the water lily to make one reminiscent of the floral paintings of Monet at Giverny. It could be a hillside of wildflowers, it could be the cultured gardens of Versailles or the wild beauty of a jungle bloom painted by Rousseau, all the moods that flowers can convey can be expressed in a painting that you choose for a certain area in your home or office.

And many famous artists like to draw flowers. The great impressionist, Claude Monet, was mesmerized by the brilliance and bounty of Mother Nature. Instead of concentrating on a single bloom however, he used his dramatic dabs of paint effectively to create walls of flowers, one indistinguishable from the other. Monet was so smitten with the impact of flowers in painting, that he dedicated most of his life to the creation of priceless works of art including 'The Artist's house at Argenteuil', 'Poppies Blooming' and 'Flowering Garden at Sainte-Adresse'.

Vincent Van Gogh made his impact on the impressionism art world with daring outdoor, landscape, and nature related subjects, including flowers. But there is one flower varietal distinctly associated to him: sunflowers. Who can't forget the stunning collection of sunflower paintings by Van Gogh, which almost treat each flower as it's owns subject. Van Gogh seems to emphasize the pure brilliance and sensory joy of blooms in his works. These paintings has been duplicated the world over.

It's no surprise that flower paintings continue to be the subject of many artists. Flower paintings are also some of the most popular used in decorating, especially given the large availability of collections now available in galleries worldwide.
