Master of Claude de France’s Book of Flower Studies (ca. 1510–1515) via The Public Domain Review [Shared]

Despite being full of blooms, this book of floral illustrations marks an autumn in aesthetic history: it was composed during “‘the last flowering’ of northern European manuscript illumination in the medieval tradition”, write curators at the MET. Created in the workshop of the Master of Claude de France, one of the most renowned ateliers in Tours during the early sixteenth century, it takes the form of a model book — and indeed several subsequent commissions linked to Queen Claude drew inspiration from this work.

The image features a detailed illustration of a blue dragonfly perched on a green stem of a flower. The dragonfly has a long, slender body with a blue and green coloration, and its wings are transparent with a delicate pattern. The flower has white petals with a red edge and a yellow center, resembling a daisy. There are three flowers in total, with one fully bloomed, one partially bloomed, and one in bud form. The background is a plain, off-white color, which contrasts with the vibrant colors of the dragonfly and flowers. The illustration is done in a style that suggests it could be from a natural history book or a botanical illustration, with careful attention to the details of the insects and plants.
