A Stalk of Lilies with Six Blooms 1808

"A Stalk of Lilies with Six Blooms" is a pen and ink drawing by Philipp Otto Runge, created in 1808. The artwork depicts a single stalk of lilies with six blooms, rendered with meticulous detail and a sense of delicate beauty. Runge, a key figure in German Romanticism, sought to capture the essence of nature through his art. The lilies are depicted with an almost ethereal quality, their petals and stems flowing with a graceful elegance. This drawing is a testament to Runge's mastery of line and his deep appreciation for the natural world.
