Do the floral paintings in Venice and the Scrovegni Chapel form a visual language born of an intimate connection with nature? Why did ancient painters dedicate themselves to mastering the art of imitating marble with such conviction? Why does marble so often mirror the delicate veining of flower petals? How did artists learn from their master marmorists, and how did these artisan schools rise to such popularity? Is there a quiet pleasure in arranging and painting flowers—a legitimate pursuit of beauty?
