In the Judeo-Christian tradition, Nature is considered the ‘other’ – cast in a philosophical abyss and Western culture set itself above and apart from it, engendering a long legacy of control and abuse of the natural environment as well as of women who are both devalued and linked in their histories. It ensues that, as flower painting was mainly practiced by women, in art historical terms, it was confined to the lowest ranks as a lesser genre for a lesser artist.
