Jean-Francois Millet


I've been researching dandelions and their representation in art for a while now and i've been finding images of them in paintings, drawings and objects etc... 

Above is a painting by Jean-Francois Millet called Dandelions. It was painted in 1867 - 68 and is held in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston USA. Please visit their website for more details. It says it's not on display - so perhaps hold off going to check it out in the flesh.
