From Northern France, the Alsace Region, comes this stylized old tradition of flower and bird painting on small coffers and boxes, which were usually used for love gifts. In the early 1600’s a French designer, Jacques Hurtu, introduced the string of pearls pattern (Cosse-de-pois), which forms the idea for the Lilies of the Valley, used most often in white and/or Vermilion.
Here I present my interpretation of this style, using more jewel-like colors and beautiful (tipping and side loading) strok work techniques.
The motif of the clasped hands is very traditional on these pieces, as are simple tulip scrolls.
For more inspiration on this style, look at old French or Italian tapestries and manuscript painting.
