Floral still life art is a testament to the timeless allure of flowers. Renowned artists like Andy Warhol, Vincent Van Gogh, and Édouard Manet have left their mark in this genre, with works like ‘Still Life With Irises’ by Vincent Van Gogh and Monet’s Water Lilies captivating audiences for generations. These works employ realistic painting techniques, carefully selecting and arranging flowers to evoke emotion and create visual harmony.
