Created by the German School in the 17th century and published in 1613, this masterpiece captures the essence of these vibrant flowers. The image features two varieties of poppies: Papaver flore multiplici incarnato and Papaver flore multiplici purpurascente. Each petal is meticulously illustrated, displaying a range of enchanting shades from deep crimson to delicate purple.
