Saxon Flower
What country, example, and year do these paintings come from?
I’m trying to find old paintings that have these qualities:
Weaved Celtic-like borders
Maidens of Anglo-Saxon heritage
Usually has one maiden with flowers and plants around her while wearing a billowing dress/sheet
Image is “flat” (i.e. hair is usually one flat color)
If you know the country, years they were created, or even a link to an example that would be great!
I’ve seen these painting in a couple museums and in an antique children book with a language I couldn’t read.
I wonder if you’re thinking of Alfons Mucha (1860-1939) ?
