Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Met Cloisters Garden Embroidered Oblong 72" Linen Scarf
The lush embroidery defining this linen scarf reimagines two charming flower studies illustrating sprigs of white Snow-in-Summer (Cerastium tomentosum) and blue Speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys) from a book (ca. 1510–1515) by the Master of Claude de France.

This spectacular book at The Met Cloisters belongs to what's been called "the last flowering" of northern European manuscript illumination in the medieval tradition. The French artist immortalized a selection of flora in witness to their beauty.  Each of the flowers in this magnificent manuscript can be found in the gardens at The Cloisters.
