“Jasmin" (Jasmine) by the famous French artist J.J. Grandville. Measures approximately 16” x 12.”This piece comes from his highly celebrated 1847 book titled Les Fleurs Animées (The Flowers Personified). In this whimsical book, Grandville reimagined common garden flowers as elegant French ladies dressed in fashionable, leaf-and-petal attire. The Artist, J.J. Grandville, was the pen name of Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard. He was a leading 19th-century French illustrator known for his imaginative, poetic, and satirical drawings. It is a beautiful example of Victorian-era fantasy art that later heavily inspired the 20th-century Surrealist art movement.
