This image shows a big vase full of flowers. The flowers are bright—reds, yellows, blues, and whites—all packed together. Some look real, others look fancy and drawn. The leaves are green, and the whole thing spills over the sides of the vase. The bottom has a list of flower names, like "Cinnamon Rose" and "China Pink." This was made in 1730 by someone who loved flowers. Next, check out Baroque to see how this style used bold colors and details.
