Les Fleurs Animées (The Flowers Personified) is one of the most celebrated works of the French artist J. J. Grandville, originally published in 1847.

Each flower is personified, capturing its unique characteristics through elegant costumes and expressive faces, often imbued with a gentle satire of society's customs and fashions of the time. Grandville’s work is a brilliant fusion of art and imagination, reflecting both the romantic and surrealist tendencies of the 19th century. Les Fleurs Animées remains a timeless piece, admired for its creativity, technical precision, and its charming portrayal of nature's beauty in human form.
