Two masterpieces

Art in Bloom at Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is an annual three day exhibition in which about 70 floral arrangers, garden clubs and florists create spectacular floral arrangements that are inspired by a painting, fabric, sculpture or other artwork in the museum's collection. They are then displayed beside the artwork that inspired them.

The painting is Turner's Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On). For more information about the painting, see www.mfa.org/collections/object/slave-ship-slavers-throwing-overboard-the-dead-and-dying-typhoon-coming-on-31102
