Language of Flowers (art movement)

The Language of Flowers was a 19th-century artistic and cultural movement where specific flowers conveyed particular messages or emotions, often used to communicate secret sentiments. It originated in Victorian England when direct expression of feelings was sometimes restricted. Artists and writers employed this symbolism to add layers of meaning to their works, with each flower representing concepts like love, hope, or apology. This movement highlighted the expressive power of nature’s symbols and reflected the era’s fascination with symbolism and emotional nuance in art and literature.
