In Europe and America, before the nineteenth century, dragonflies were often viewed as menacing creatures. However, in Japan, they were considered to be symbols of renewal, bravery, power, and joy. The perception changed when Japanese prints began to flood the art market. Artists like Tiffany began to portray them as beautiful creatures, which they always were.
