"description": "Known as \u201cGerman flowers,\u201d naturalistic floral compositions painted on Meissen factory porcelain in the 1740s influenced the paintings of French and English porcelain factories. At the Vincennes factory in the 1750s, botanically accurate flower paintings were regularly represented. The flowers seen here take inspiration from Meissen, while at the same time representing an early attempt at a distinctly French style of porcelain painting that emphasized bright, clear colors.",
