A Unique, Art-Inspired Gift.

We’Ve Plucked These Lush Red Corn Poppies From A Book Of Flower Studies (Ca. 1510–1515) By The Master Of Claude De France. This Spectacular Book At The Met Cloisters Belongs To What’S Been Called “The Last Flowering” Of Northern European Manuscript Illumination In The Medieval Tradition. The French Artist Immortalized A Selection Of Flora, Including The Corn Poppy (Papaver Rhoeas), Pictured With A Brown Fly, In Witness To Their Beauty. Each Of The Flowers In This Magnificent Manuscript Can Be Found In The Gardens At The Cloisters.
