Las primeras flores.

Hoy, a las 15: 46 (hora peninsular española), llegará la primavera.

Para celebrarlo, unas ilustraciones de flores. Son del libro, Master of Claude de France’s Book of Flower Studies.

Es una obra fascinante, y en realidad no es una sola imagen aislada sino un manuscrito de estudios botánicos: el Book of Flower Studies, atribuido al Master of Claude de France, un iluminador francés activo aprox. entre 1508 y 1520. El libro se fecha hacia 1510–1515.

Lo más singular es que contiene 39 iluminaciones detalladas de flores europeas, realizadas sobre pergamino con una técnica muy refinada: acuarela opaca, veladuras orgánicas, pintura de oro y plata, tinta y carbón. Hoy está en The Met Cloisters (Nueva York), dentro de la colección del Metropolitan Museum of Art.
