Daffodil with a Beetle Notecard
A lovely image for the perfect note or a frameable keepsake. This notecard features an image from one of three small leaves painted by an anonymous artist who worked for Queen Claude of France (reigned 1514-24). The Naturalistic portrayal of flowers, often with insects, was popular in the border decorations of luxury devotional manuscripts in early sixteenth century France. Though highly detailed, this image was likely a sample illustration to demonstrate the artistâs skills, rather than leaves from a fully realized manuscript.
This notecard was made from the Morgan's collections as a complement the exhibition Seeds of Knowledge: Early Modern Illustrated Herbals on view at the Morgan Library & Museum October 6, 2023 through January 14, 2024.
