In the paintings of the old masters, every lily and rose carries a hidden meaning. Elizabeth Haig decodes the language of flowers in great art, from the iris and the carnation to garlands and the columbine. A lovely meeting of botany, symbolism, and painting. See the masterpieces anew through the flowers they hold.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
