The transience of summer and the flowering time of peonies are well known to everyone. A flower painted on canvas will never wither!!!
The square painting depicts a complex terry peony in white on a contrasting blue background. The painting is painted on canvas (70x70 cm) stretched on a wooden stretcher.
The word "peony" comes from "paionios" — from the Greek "curative, healing". It is also believed that the peony comes from a small town of Peonia in Thrace, where it grows literally everywhere, which is why it is named after the place of growth.
Large and complex flowers have long been not only an aesthetic standard for artists from different countries, but also a cultural phenomenon with mystical properties, a symbol of spring, love and feminine attractiveness.
According to a legend that came from Greek mythology, the peony is one of the symbols of longevity. There lived in Ancient Greece a talented physician Peon, a disciple of Asclepius, the god of healing.
Legend has it that the Peon managed to heal the god of the underworld Hades after his fight with Hercules
