In pursuit of both knowledge and delight, the craft of botanical
illustration has always required not only meticulous draftsmanship
but also a rigorous scientific understanding. This new edition of a
TASCHEN classic celebrates the botanical tradition and talents with
a selection of outstanding works from the National Library of
Vienna, including many new images. From Byzantine manuscripts right
through to 19th-century masterpieces, through peonies, callas, and
chrysanthemums, these exquisite reproductions dazzle in their
accuracy and their aesthetics. Whether in gently furled leaves,
precisely textured fruits, or the sheer beauty and variety of
colors, we celebrate an art form as tender as it is precise, and
ever more resonant amid our growing awareness of our ecological
surroundings and the preciousness of natural flora. About the
series TASCHEN is 40! Since we started our work as cultural
archaeologists in 1980, TASCHEN has become synonymous with
accessible publishing, helping bookworms around the world curate
their own library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia at an
unbeatable price. Today we celebrate 40 years of incredible books
by staying true to our company credo. The 40 series presents new
editions of some of the stars of our program-now more compact,
friendly in price, and still realized with the same commitment to
impeccable production.
