"Lilly" is a silhouette artwork by Philipp Otto Runge, a German Romantic painter and printmaker. The stark contrast between the white lily and the black background creates a striking visual impact. This simple yet powerful composition highlights the delicate beauty and elegance of the flower, capturing its essence in a minimalist form. Runge's interest in nature and its symbolic representation is evident in this work, which is a testament to his artistic exploration of the natural world. This silhouette style, known as "schattenrisse," was popular in the Romantic era and aimed to capture the essence of the subject through its form.
