Art In Bloom Festival 🧵 Continued

Inspiration: Woman Seated on a Bench, Greek, Attic or Boeotian

Primary floral materials: roses, carnations, grasses, eryngium, scabiosa pods, hanging amaranthus

Context: Tanagra figurines were cherished cast clay possessions that must have hinted at their owner's inevitable death, often accompanying them into the grave. Mutely, they show us a bit about how they lived 2400 years ago.

You have to appreciate the difficulty in interpreting in flowers, a figurine that stood no taller than 6in/15cm. Look closely to see interesting details.
