From the beloved floral still life paintings by Dutch Golden Age artist Jan van Huysum and the impressionistic, blooming florals of Vincent Van Gogh, to the abstract feminine beauty of Georgia O’Keeffe’s oeuvre, the world of floral and botanical artwork has seen many great artists.
The innate beauty of nature has captured the imaginations of the world’s greatest painters for a reason. It’s an elegance so powerful and soul-affirming that the only conceivable possible creator of such wonders must be an all-knowing, all-seeing force. Florals have consequently been used throughout history for various symbolic reasons, the most common being a celebration of life and love.
From wedding bouquets to the well-known idiom to ‘stop and smell the roses’, sometimes it feels as though there’s nothing a good frolic amongst springtime blooms can’t fix. It’s also the feeling we get when looking at the Edenic, sprawling florals of the intrepid Victorian botanist and artist, Marianne North – who saw beyond the aesthetic beauty of florals, and into their fascinating biological makeup.
Providing a boost of dopamine so strong, it makes sense that so many of us adorn our walls with countless floral and botanical artworks. Where minimal, highly symmetrical wall hangings were popular in the 2010s, a vintage-inspired hodgepodge gallery wall style has taken off in recent years.
Monet sought to recreate panoramic visions of pastoral beauty, while Matisse prioritised abstracted shapes supported by beautifully saturated colour. How floral artworks have been depicted throughout history are dynamic and wonderfully wide-ranging. More recently, a contemporary minimalist style has emerged through digital artists.
Whether you’re a fan of classical art prints, scientific botanical posters or contemporary minimalist blooms, or simply adore the idea of juxtaposing a selection of styles, we’ve got you covered. Keep scrolling for a round-up of the best floral and botanical art prints that will give your sprawling gallery walls a colour boost.

Georgia O'Keeffe Two Calla Lilies on Pink, 1928
According to the Tate, O’Keeffe’s large, abstract florals were created in the hope of drawing the attention of busy New Yorkers and encouraging them to appreciate the beauty in the intricacy of nature that might otherwise pass them by.
