The Flower Garden - Framed Fine online Art Print - Macaroni Collection

The Flower Garden
May 1, 1777


"The Flower Garden" comes from the series "Darly's Comic Prints of Character, Caricatures, Macaronies etc" that Matthew and Mary Darly published in 1777.

Darly's caricature of a woman's coiffure lampoons the 1770s vogue for increasingly elaborate hairstyles. "The Flower Garden", with its temple to Mercury and labouring gardener, may seem exaggerated, but in Paris the duchesse de Lauzun wore a wig with a whole landscape in relief, complete with ducks, a windmill and a miller leading his donkey.

The Darlys developed a new British print genre - small etched caricatures of single figures against plain backgrounds, their identities indicated through dress, pose and a few props. Many of these works mocked the fashionable manners of contemporary London dandies called "macaronis," and the Darly's wares soon became known as macaroni prints no matter what their subjects.

This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are “sprayed” onto high-quality paper. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper is an archival acid- and lignin-free paper with an expanded color gamut, natural online contrast and high ink load.
