The Exaltation of the Flower
''The Exaltation of the Flower'' (''L'Exaltation de la Fleur'') is an early Classical Greek marble fragment of a funerary stele from the 5th century BCE.〔Lis, Michel; Béatrice Vingtrinier (2009). ''Flowers in the Louvre''. Flammarion. pp. 16-17. ISBN 2081228203. .〕 It was discovered in 1863 by Léon Heuzey and Henri Daumet at a church in Farsala, Thessaly, Greece.〔Collignon, Maxime; John Henry Wright, trans. (1886). ''(A Manual of Greek Archæology )''. Cassell Publishing Company. pp. 142-143. .〕〔Heuzey, L. (June 1868). (L'exaltation de la fleur, bas-relief grec de style archaïque trouvé à Pharsale ) ''Journal des savants''. pp. 380-395. . .〕 Carved in bas-relief in the Severe style, the extant upper fragment of the marble relief stele depicts two female figures holding their hands upraised with what appear to be flowers and other objects. The work is held by the Louvre museum in the Department of Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities.
==Background==
French archaeologist and historian Léon Heuzey began working with the French School at Athens in Greece at the age of 20 in 1851.〔Monceaux, Paul (1922). (Éloge funèbre de M. Léon Heuzey, membre de l'Académie ). ''Comptes rendus des séances de l'Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres''. 66 (1): 53–56. . .〕 He made his most famous discovery of that period in the town of Farsala, a city in southern Thessaly.〔Schwartz, Emmanuel. (2010). (Heuzy, Léon ). ''Dictionnaire Critique des Historiens de L'Art''. Institut National d'Histoire de l'Art. .〕 In antiquity, the area was named Pharsalos, and became known for the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BCE, where Julius Caesar defeated Pompey during the Great Roman Civil War.〔Fields, Nic (2010). ''(Julius Caesar: Leadership, Strategy, Conflict )''. Osprey Publishing. pp. 23–26. ISBN 9781846039287. .〕
Heuzey and the architect Henri Daumet were involved in an official mission to collect objects related to Caesar's campaigns; they were also interested in other artifacts unrelated to their work.〔 In 1863, they found the marble bas-relief of ''The Exaltation of the Flower'' embedded in the walls of a church in the neighborhood of Paleo-Loutro in Farsala. Heuzey was informed that the stone was originally discovered in a garden, close to another stone that was not recovered. Heuzey purchased the stone and had it sent to the Louvre in Paris.〔Heuzey, L.; H. Daumet (1876). ''(Mission archéologique de Macédoine )''. Volume 1. Paris. pp. 415–417. .〕〔 Back in France, Heuzy would become curator of the Louvre, where he would retire in 1908.〔
