John Bauer Flora 1915 Art Nouveau style CC1147 Postcard



Postcard inspired by a painting by Swedish painter and illustrator John Bauer (1882–1918). The picture shows a blond young woman with very long braids. She's surrounded with ornamental flowers and leaves fruit and birds. She's also holding a bunch of flowers in her arms loosely so some of them are already falling to the ground or perhaps she's planting them? Surrounded with flowers and other living thing the young woman seems immersed in a state of happiness. The woman looks a little like some of Bauer's princesses but her name is of course Flora as in the Roman flower goddess. The name of the painting is also Flora it is dated 1915.
