On this tour full of flowers (floribunda), Jieyan Wang ’25 will explore representations of flowers in the history of art and related issues of symbolism, materiality, and abstraction. The stops on the tour include A Sea-Spell (1875–77), Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s painting of an enchantress with flowers; a large, broad-shouldered jar with decoration of fish and aquatic plants from China (Ming dynasty, Jiajing period, 1522–66); and Red and Pink (1925) an ambiguous, multivalent painting by Georgia O’Keeffe.


Spotlight Tours offer a chance to explore the collections of the Harvard Art Museums through the eyes of a Harvard student. Free and open to the public, these tours start outside the museum shop on Saturdays and Sundays at 11am and 2pm. Drop in and join the conversation! And find out what the Student Guides are up to anytime on Instagram @harvardarthappens.


Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Tours are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
