This painting and the story it tells are heart-wrenching. I will never again see a fleur-de-lis without thinking of your description of its cruel use in the brutal history of slavery. I agree that this subject in all its terrible detail needs to a part of everyone's education to help ensure its eradication all over the world in whatever form it is practiced. Slavery is the worst sin ever committed in this country and anywhere else it has or continues to exist. Thank you Nicole, for pouring your heart, soul, and intellect into this wonderful piece and its description. L/F

Oh this made me so sad, but I totally get it, cruelty in the world is something that can not and should not be tolerated. I won't say to much because I have a sassy mouth that gets me in trouble, but let's just say I don't approve of anyone, anywhere at anytime being mistreated or enslaved. The Lord didn't intend for us to treat one another in that fashion. OH wow, hush my mouth! But Your work speaks volumes and my heart is with you! Bless you!

Hi Debra! There is nothing wrong in denouncing cruelty. We can not be indifferent to suffering, or take pleasure inflicting it. I appreciate your compassionate and approving comment, and thank you for the blessing.

Outstanding work !!! And subject we need to talk about and eliminate ! Slavery is still alive today !! 30 million people are living as forced laborers, forced prostitutes, child soldiers, child brides in forced marriages and, in all ways that matter, as pieces of property, chattel in the servitude of absolute ownership. Walk Free investigated 162 countries and found slaves in every single one. But the practice is far worse in some countries than others. The country where you are most likely to be enslaved is Mauritania. Although this vast West African nation has tried three times to outlaw slavery within its borders, it remains so common that it is nearly normal. The report estimates that four percent of Mauritania is enslaved – one out of every 25 people. Here is a link if you would like to read more !! https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2011/06/the-country-where-slavery-is-still-normal/241148/ l/f

Outstanding work! I wrote a poem once I learned about the history of the Fleur-de-lis visiting the Whitney Slave Muesum in 2015: Walking around the French Quarter in a daze, Crowds in bars watched the Saints game being played, While rich negros were bought and sold via online fantasy trades, An echo of slave days when massa used Fleur-de-lis' to mark the hides of his & her slaves, Few know this logo's significance and story, The Redskins ain't the only team that's derogatory, For hundreds of years Black Americans slaved and sharecropped sugar cane, Yet even after freedom, we gang bang and slang cane, Worked for the white, made the white (sugar/crack), that caused our plight like diabetes and addiction, Mental, spiritual, emotional and physical diseases plague us, but the "quiet majority" just think its fiction, These long term effects still curse us like a voodoo hex, Plantations were replaced by the industrial prison complex, Our future should be a destiny manifest, Being survivors from a long line of survivors was the ultimate test, Against all odds, given nothing, we built America... Yes... But they keep us uneducated and depressed, Frustrated and in debt, Doped up and locked down because they're afraid of what's next. Jason Moore

You are right Jason: this "logo of fleur de lis significance and story" is unknown to many. You have written a very deep, insightful poem. Congratulations Jason! I appreciate your input.

I loved the card. Message inside was perfect (just like I requested) Only comment - the picture seemed too large for the card (glue showing on the side) Next time I will down size the picture. I have ordered many cards from fineartamerica and have been very pleased with the artist selection and quality of the art. Paul Cutright

Artist's Description

Fleur-de-lis or fleur de lys, literally means 'lily flower' in English. In French culture, it is one-of-a-kind French brand image full of heritage and style. Others claim it symbolizes and iris, or a frog.

'Fleur de lis' appears in numerous European coats of arms and flags for centuries. It is associated with French monarchy. The French monarchy adopted the Fleur-de-lis for their royal coat of arms as a symbol of purity, French royalty. It is widely used as a decorative subject matter by artists, tattoos and jewelry designers; it is used as ornamental theme in architectural embellishment, in home decor, and attire.

In USA, this emblem stems from the French colonization of the Americas. 'Fleur de lis' was found on early North American flags to designate French settlement areas. A number of cities in the USA have adopted the 'fleur de lys' for their flags and city symbols. Among them are St Louis, Louisville, Detroit, Mobile Alabama, Missouri, Lafayette, Baton Rouge,...
