Spray of Tulips 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle: A Fitzwilliam Museum Publication

The Fitzwilliam's outstanding collection of botanical art came to the Museum through the Broughton Bequest in 1973, a generous legacy from Henry Rogers Broughton. Several flower studies by Holland are present in the bequest, all demonstrating his exceptional talent for capturing the colours of nature. This vibrant bouquet of mixed flowers by British artist James Holland is brought to life in watercolour and bodycolour. James Holland was a 19th Century English painter of flowers, landscapes, architecture, marine subjects, and a book illustrator. He worked in both oils and watercolours and was a member of the Royal Watercolour Society.
