Jewel-bright, playful, and painted with a depth and detail that makes you look twice and then a third time just to be sure — Hibis-Kiss Me is one of the most extraordinarily beautiful prints in the entire Splash'd® collection. Rich flower specimens float across a moody pale blue background with the kind of effortless charm that only centuries-old art can pull off.
Rescued from the pages of Mira Calligraphiae Monumenta — The Model Book of Calligraphy — these flowers were painted by Flemish artist Joris Hoefnagel in the margins of a calligraphy masterpiece created for the Holy Roman Emperor in 1561. One man wrote the words. The other painted flowers so beautiful they completely stole the show. We kept the flowers. We think they made the right call.
