Excerpt from A Manual on Flower Painting in Oil Colours From Nature: With Instructions for Preliminary Practice; Also a Section on Flower Painting in Water Colours, Etc
From the earliest times, and in the various countries where Art has flourished, painting flowers, as well as the study of them, has always formed a favourite occupation. All civilized communities appear to have vied with each other in their desire to attach deep significance to flowers.
In Egypt, the lily of the Nile - the lotus - was a sacred symbol of the priest, and this flower, with the palm and papyrus, was interwoven with much of their religious worship, in the form of figurative decoration.
The public buildings of the Egyptians were also richly adorned with these objects in a conventional manner, and at all times they seemed to be amongst the first materials in the minds of the Egyptian artist, or the priest, whether for the decoration of the palace, the Temple, or the tomb.
Flowers also formed some of the chief materials mentioned in Biblical records, for the enrichment of the Temple and the shrines of worship.
