Swipe to the end to see one of Getty's beautiful still lifes. If you look closely at this still life of flowers in a basket, you’ll notice a dragonfly, a bee, and butterflies. The insects, like the petals, are still. The artist captured the most beautiful tulip at the perfect moment. And now here these flowers are, frozen in time, preserved in paint.

“Flowers elicit a fundamental emotional response of wonder or awe,” says paintings curator Anne Woollett. In the garden, they come and go, but “through the power of art time stands still, and we can possess the bounty of nature.”
