EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Red Poppy Motif, Folio from the Small Clive Album (1674-1675) 2. Description: This image showcases a close-up view of a single red poppy stem, adorned with its fully bloomed flower, against an opaque background in the Red Poppy Motif, Folio from the Small Clive Album. Dated between 1674 and 1675, this exquisite folio is an enchanting example of 17th-century Mughal art from Hindustan (India) or Southeast Asia. The artist, unknown, masterfully employed the techniques of opaque watercolor and gold on paper to create a stunning botanical study. 3. Context: The Small Clive Album, a collection of five folios, is believed to have been compiled during the Mughal Empire's rule in India. The album's name is attributed to Lord Robert Clive (1725-1774), a British entrepreneur and military leader who played a significant role in the British East India Company's expansion in India during the late 18th century. However, there is no definitive evidence that this album belonged to him. 4. Botanical Significance: The red poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is a common flower found throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. In the 17th century, botanical studies were an essential aspect of scientific exploration and discovery. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this folio demonstrate the artist's deep understanding of the plant's anatomy and the artistic techniques of the time. 5. Cultural Importance: The Mughal Empire, which ruled India from 1526 to 1857, was renowned for its artistic and cultural achievements. This Red Poppy Motif, Folio from the Small Clive Album, is a testament to the empire's rich artistic heritage and the enduring influence of its artistic traditions. Today, it is part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the natural world and the history of art.
