Melchoir Lechter (1865-1937), 'Blaue Blume Einsamkeit' (Blue Flower of Loneliness), ''Deutsche Kunst und Dekoration'', 1897-98
Source
"Widely published in the German press between 1897 and 1905, this wonderful painting disappeared from public view for more than 115 years after its purchase directly from the artist by the Swiss banker Julius Landmann (1877-1931). In 2020, the painting resurfaced at auction in Zurich where it was acquired by The Daulton Collection."
....
"In German literature, the blue flower is associated with the fragmentary novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen by the leading Romantic author Novalis (1722-1801), published posthumously in 1802. And the blue flower became an important motif in 19th century Romanticism, representing a longing (Sehnsucht) for things transcendent."
