"Two Tulips and Two Irises," Johanna Helena Herolt, c. 1700.
Herolt (1668-Sometime after 1723) was a German botanical artist. She came from a family of artists, with some turbulence in that her parents separated, her mother took her to live in a religious commune, and Johanna later left and married another escapee from the commune.
She collaborated with her mother on a number of botanical works, and later, on her own, illustrated a book on botany, from which this painting is taken. She and her husband moved to Surinam, in South America, where she died sometime after 1723.
And this is so redolent of springtime...I need this visual.
