Starry Sunflower Brooch
Hidden meanings of morality, politics, and the cycle of life are woven into Dutch flower paintings. Popular from the 17th Century, the bouquets were often comprised of impossible combinations; flowers which did not bloom at the same time of the year.
After wars in the 1500’s, the regions became more Protestant, and thus the art produced was less centred around iconography, and more around items found in the natural world. The genre became seen less as ‘still-life’ when the flora became more unruly, more Rococo. Women were more accepted in this genre of painting, as flowers were a ‘suitable’ subject for young women, thus it was a way for them to break into artistic careers.
This collection features hand crafted flowers and leaves, created using the lost wax casting process. Falling golden flowers and crumpled leaves adorn the body, each piece is one of a kind. Signed with a lab-grown ruby. Please note: this is a chunky design, and would be best suited on a thick fabric jacket.
