Augustus by Anthony Morrow

"Augustus" by Anthony Morrow


I wanted to share my painting completed today of an Augustus Tulip.  It's a fact that during the height of the "Tulip Mania" in the 17th Century. Bulbs of the virus infected Semper Augustus would sell for the equivalent of up to ten years wages for a skilled craftsman of that time.
This piece was inspired by the now stained and worn botanical prints of the 17th Century.
