Save on Magnolia Grandiflora Jewelry

The art of Martin Johnson Heade (1819-1904) is perhaps the most varied and inventive of any nineteenth-century American painter. Forgotten by collectors and scholars after his death, he was rediscovered in the early 1940s, when MFA patron Maxim Karolik began assembling what would become the preeminent collection of Heade's work, which he donated to the Museum.

Some of Heade's most sensuous paintings are of magnolia blossoms, a subject he came to specialize in after moving to Florida in 1883. Our collection of magnolia merchandise is inspired by Magnolia Grandiflora an exquisite oil on canvas painted between 1885 and 1895.
