Wild Tulip 1884

"Wild Tulip" is a wallpaper design by William Morris, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, known for his intricate patterns and nature-inspired motifs. Created in 1884, the design features a repeating pattern of stylized tulips and leaves in a white-on-orange color scheme. This wallpaper, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, embodies Morris's belief in handcrafted beauty and his rejection of mass-produced industrial design. The design's flowing lines and naturalistic forms reflect a broader artistic shift toward a celebration of the natural world, a prominent feature of the Arts and Crafts movement.
