Cornflower Botanical Study, Centaurea Cyanus, Carl Lindman, c. 1905 Description: A beautiful early 20th-century botanical chromolithograph depicting the cornflower, Centaurea cyanus L., known in Swedish as “Blåklint.” The composition is dominated by the distinctive intense blue flower of the cornflower, accompanied by unopened flower heads, slender foliage and a series of finely rendered botanical details. Numbered studies surrounding the principal specimen illustrate individual florets, reproductive structures and other anatomical components, combining considerable decorative appeal with scientific precision. Carl Axel Magnus Lindman (1856–1928) was a distinguished Swedish botanist, professor and botanical illustrator. He is particularly celebrated for “Bilder ur Nordens Flora,” his monumental illustrated survey of Scandinavian flora. The publication became one of the most recognizable botanical works produced in Scandinavia during the early 20th century. The cornflower has a long history as both a wildflower and ornamental garden plant. Its brilliant blue blossoms make this one of the particularly attractive plates from Lindman’s botanical work.
