\"\"<\/a>Starting 21 March, the citizens and visitors of Klaip\u0117da will be able to see the exhibition<\/span> Florentem<\/span><\/i> at the Clock and Watch Museum. It is an extended and adjusted for the audience of the Clock and Watch Museum version of the exhibition <\/span>Florentem,<\/span><\/i> previously hosted by Vilnius Picture Gallery and very popular with art lovers and professionals. The exhibition is a reflection of a human effort to define humanity in its relationship with nature and how it changed with time. The significance of the natural motifs, especially plant motifs in the explorations of the world, and in search of inspiration is yet another thematic thread of the exhibition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased that the Lithuanian National Museum brings the inspirational exhibition <\/span>Florentem<\/span><\/i> to Klaip\u0117da in spring. I am confident that this so well-received narrative abouts humans and nature will endow the port city with fresh colour, and will offer some cultural discoveries to the public of the town\u201d, Dr Ar\u016bnas Gel\u016bnas, director general of the LNMA says.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the art researcher Helmutas \u0160abasevi\u010dius, who reviewed the exhibition for the weekly <\/span>7 meno dienos<\/span><\/i>, the exhibition is like a garden with its abundant plants: \u201cit lures to return, to observe things which remained hidden in a shadow during the first stroll across, temporally overshadowed by the larger and more impressive plants.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The language of flowers, religion and science\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition co-curated by <\/span>Agn\u0117 Jonikait\u0117, Dr Aist\u0117 Bimbiryt\u0117, Dalia Tarandait\u0117, Ramun\u0117 Savickait\u0117, Joana Vitkut\u0117 Florentempus (<\/span>floren<\/span><\/i> in Latin \u2013 meaning blossoming, plenteous, <\/span>tempus <\/span><\/i>\u2013 time) is an engaging narrative about the continuous attempt to learn about the elements of nature, and to employ them to define, often also to stop \u2013 for a short while \u2013 the time of being in this world.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fragile and unpredictable, at the same time, vivacious and surprising plant world has always excited human fantasy, while the plants, especially the blooming ones, when translated to the works of art and literature, gradually took on the gift of language imparted on them by humans in a form of symbolism. Depending on the context, a bloom of a flower in a portrait could prompt whether the depicted person is alive or dead, refer to something of the sitter\u2019s biography and lead to intuitions about his or her fate. Different plants integrated in the images showing the Virgin Mary or saints signify specific stages in their lives and the relationship with the Lord. A poppy bloom in a woman\u2019s lap, o a lily in the hands of a Lord\u2019s Servant \u2013 nothing, not a single flower is accidental. It is yet without mentioning the floral still life or lush wreathes which signifying the economic power of a country or and individual, hint at the religious and economic tensions. The language of flowers is inexhaustible and everlasting.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe sought to create an intricate and visually pleasurable narrative, which reveals how nature inch by inch crept into in the religious and secular canvases, took root there and came to flourish, and why it was allowed to go rampant unrestrained\u201d, Dr Aist\u0117 Bimbiryt\u0117, director of Vilnius Gallery and a co-curator of the exhibition, explains the intent of the exhibition.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition is divided into four thematic parts: the aesthetics of the parks of nobility estates, flowers in secular art, plants in religious art, flowers and time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition <\/span><\/b>Florentempus<\/span><\/i><\/b> is open to public from 21 March to 1 December at the Clock and Watch Museum of the LNMA (Liep\u0173 St 12, Klaip\u0117da)\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
