Little Garden of ParadiseUpper Rhenish Master
Paradiesgärtlein (c. 1410) by the Upper Rhenish Master is a mixed-technique painting on oakwood, exemplifying the Mary in the rose bower type. It depicts a serene garden enclosed by fortified walls, symbolizing tranquility and protection. Among the earliest works to depict flora and fauna with naturalistic precision, many plants serve as Marian symbols.
