Calla Lily Art Print

By Wendy Pan

The Calla lily is a stunning looking single stemmed flower with a magnificent trumpet shaped bloom. They are usually white, or very delicately tinted off white and are visually magnificent. They look exotic and elegant whilst at the same time having the delicacy and vulnerability of a flower. It is no wonder that a Calla Lily art print has become one of the most popular prints in recent years.

The flower lends itself to being photographed or painted and shines as one of the 'floral supermodels'. It is often seen in pictures as a lone bloom with a plain background with just its presence and aura to show it off to its full potential. Not only are many homes decorated with a Calla lily art print but they have become increasingly popular in coffee shops, bars and restaurants. Architecturally the flowers are such that photographers can use light and shade to great advantage and many prints are in black and white or sepia. These prints produce a calm and restful yet eye-catching picture which is well suited to creating a modern yet warm feel to the room.

Many well known photographers have used the bloom in their compositions and some have created a whole range of pictures featuring the flower. Sometimes they will appear as a collection and be displayed together. Each picture, however, is strong enough to stand in its own right. Although there are a great many studies of the same flower by a variety of artists, you will find that the bloom has such a strong shape that you will always be fascinated by a Calla lily print.

With the advent of the internet as a shopping facility, you are now able to view many examples on various websites and if you should wish to purchase a Calla lily print you will find that you are spoilt for choice. The price that you pay for the print will depend upon the photographer or artist. Some of the artworks are by well known and respected artists and many of these have been limited in their reproduction. If the print that you prefer is limited in its numbers, you will no doubt have to pay more. Although they are more expensive, limited prints will always hold their value and some will increase as years go by.

Although it is difficult to visit a gallery or even a print shop without seeing a Calla lily print, the flower is so stunning and has so much potential for reproduction by photography or painting, that it is very rare that you will see two similar pictures. It is possible to recreate a variety of moods using the flower and different artists have captured different qualities of this spectacular bloom. It will continue to be a firm favourite which will challenge the imagination of artists and photographers for a many years.
