Flora
Imagine the ultimate spring party in the sky! Here sits Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, draped in golden fabric and surrounded by chubby cherubs who are literally raining roses down on her. Another figure holds a basket of blooms, while a white dove—symbol of love—rests near her feet. The soft, pastel colors and fluffy clouds give it a dreamy feel typical of Academic art, celebrating the beauty and abundance of nature in the most glamorous way possible.
