フィラデルフィア美術館さんのインスタグラム写真 - (フィラデルフィア美術館Instagram)「Welcome to the Jungle 🎶 A craze for orchids swept Europe and the United States in the mid-nineteenth century. The tropical bloom often served as an allusion to feminine sexuality for artists and writers of this era. Heade began a series of orchid and hummingbird paintings after his final trip to South America in 1870, demonstrating his dedication to birds and flowers modeled from nature that he often placed in settings both evocative and fantastic. The coming storm adds a sense of foreboding to this otherwise calm scene. 📍See this work in Gallery 216, American Art “Orchids in a Jungle,” 1871-1874, Martin Johnson Heade #oilpainting #philamuseum #americanart」12月14日 0時59分
