This photo shows a dark background with a bright bouquet of flowers spilling over a wooden ledge. The flowers include red roses, pale yellow blooms, and clusters of tiny blue flowers mixed with green leaves. Some stems and buds hang loose, as if just picked. The soft lighting makes the colors glow against the shadowy backdrop. This style was popular in the early 1800s for capturing nature’s beauty. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and nature in their work.
