Flower of the Century

Flowers make such a lovely, natural addition to our environment. Unfortunately, many of us were not graced with the proverbial green thumb. Unless you like your flowers in various shades of wilted brown, the beauty of nature’s bounty will elude you. Fortunately, there’s Fleur Du Siecle, which roughly translated means Flower of the century. This is a magnificent still life, filled with colorful flowers that catch the diffused light from a window. In this exceptional work, the way the light and shadows play on the flowers, basket and urn make them seem masterfully lifelike and brilliant. The dark background adds great contrast to the flowers, making them appear to jump right out from the tapestry. This floral tapestry “Flower of the century” is unlined and has a tunnel for easy hanging.
