Flowers

Flowers add beauty to the world, so much so that did you know they're often a substitute for depictions of saints and deities? This is something that started with Dutch painters in the 17th century, a time when religious disagreements were tearing Holland apart. Knowing what each of these flowers represents won't only give you an entirely new outlook on these paintings, but also on the world around you. Flowers really are a powerful gift from God to all of humanity.
