My interest in Josefa de Óbidos, a Spanish-Portuguese 17th century painter, was the jumping-off point for my collaboration with @chelseafussflowers in her recent floral retreat in Lisbon (the retreat was called “Art, Flowers, & Gardens of Lisbon”, a title I find very evocative!).

Chelsea always wants her guests to be immersed in Portuguese culture and heritage and she and I worked together to translate Josefa’s legacy into different floral experiences for her guests.

On my first morning of teaching we headed out to Évora to see a few of Josefa’s paintings at the @museunfreimanueldocenaculo. We chose Évora because Lisbon’s old masters museum, the @mnaa_lisboa, is undergoing renovations and has been closed for a year, and Évora is both a short drive from Lisbon and an amazing city in its own right.

I started by giving them a little talk about Josefa’s background and career and then I went on explaining each of the paintings on display. We talked about the omnipresence of religion in Baroque society, the growing importance of sugar, the seasonality of sweets and the symbolism of flowers. As in 17th century poetry, paintings were filled with metaphors and fauna and flora were often associated with Christian meaning. We identified each flower and talked about what it could have meant to 17th century viewers.

In order to make this session a bit more interactive and three-dimensional, I brought along some of my paper flowers, specifically the ones I made following Josefa’s very rigorous and accurate depictions. Most of them are native to Portugal, which makes it even more interesting in terms of general knowledge and conservation.

After the visit to the museum we went to @ximenamaier’s home, where we were treated to an excellent lunch, animated conversation, a talk on the history of tiles and a tile painting workshop.

I’ve written more about the whole experience on my substack, the link is in my bio.

Ispod mojih nogu je samo staklo… a ispod stakla, provalija 😱

Da li biste vi smeli da stanete ovde? 👇 Napišite DA ili NE u komentaru!

📍 Stakleni vidikovac Kablar, Ovčarsko-kablarska klisura
✅ 879 metara nadmorske visine, pod od stakla iznad litice
✅ prvi stakleni vidikovac u Srbiji
✅ staklo je testirano na 132 tone (i da, skočio sam 😅)
✅ pogled na krivine Zapadne Morave i planinu Ovčar
✅ „mala srpska Sveta Gora“: u klisuri je čak 10 manastira

⚠️ Važno: vidikovac je zatvoren od 31. oktobra zbog zime, a ponovo se otvara 1. aprila.
🔖 Sačuvaj ovaj video, i 1. deo o putu do vidikovca (na mom profilu), da ti budu pri ruci na proleće.

💡 Savet: vikendom je gužva. Za miran pogled i dobru fotografiju dođite radnim danom ili rano, čim se otvori.
⛴️ Dole u klisuri ima i krstarenje brodom: vikendom u 11 i 13 časova.

📤 Pošalji ovaj video nekome sa kim bi došao ovde. Neko mora da te drži za ruku na staklu 🤝
💬 Gde da vas vodim sledeće?

Consider this our kind of (Sprouse) house party. @realbarbarapalvin and @dylansprouse brought the Halloween spirit, and we brought @raisingcanes!
