Do you have flowers at home right now? 💐 What a beautiful bouquet! Let’s take a closer look… We can spot familiar Dutch plants such as primulas, forget-me-nots and geraniums. But there are also flowers that were grown in greenhouses around 1830, like daffodils, anemones and tulips. And that blue tulip? Something unusual is going on there. Here and there, you can still see traces of red paint. Originally, Oberman painted it as a purple tulip 💜, which has gradually turned blue over time. 💙 🖼 Anthony Oberman, Still Life with Flowers and Nuts, c. 1830.
