Illustration to the poem “The Flower’s Revenge” (Der Blumen Rache – Ferdinand Freiligrath) 1852

Eugen Neureuther's 1852 illustration “Illustration to the poem “The Flower’s Revenge” (Der Blumen Rache – Ferdinand Freiligrath)” depicts a woman asleep in a field of flowers. She is surrounded by fantastical creatures and plants, some of which appear to be attacking her. This illustration is a fine example of Romanticism and German art with its focus on emotion, nature, and the fantastical. The drawing is a fine example of Neureuther's style, and it is a beautiful and evocative work of art.
