Port Elizabeth Art Renaissance



Girl with a Rose
Reni Guiddo
1575 - 1642

Roses

Velvet petals
Fragrant perfume,
crystal drops of dew,
Delicate and perfect,
in glorious
matchless hue;

The pure
and tranquil beauty
of this flower
clearly shows
the finest
handiwork of GOD -
HIS masterpiece -
the rose
