Collection of Flowers and Fruits Painted after Nature: Bouquet of Foxglove, Clematis, Pan

Louis Charles Ruotte · 1805

By the mid-17th century, there was a surge of interest in beautiful, exotic plants and formal royal gardens. At Fountainebleau and the Louvre, the gardens were filled with flowers from far-away places, such as the Near East, India, the East and West Indies, and South America.
