The Golden Age of Botanical Art brings together the stories of the
intrepid explorers - some of whom became botanical artists by
default - and the many professional artists who recorded the flora
that they discovered on their travels and expeditions. From some of
the earliest attempts at art to the plant hunters of the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries, the images produced in the study of plants
have held a fascination for all those who love nature. Truly global
in its scope, this beautifully illustrated book moves across
centuries and continents looking at the artistry of China and
India, delving into the sketchbooks of explorers in the Himalayas
and following the voyages of those who discovered new worlds and
new species as far apart as Russia and South America. Alongside
special features on key figures in the botanical art world, The
Golden Age of Botanical Art highlights the work of some of the
great names of botanical art, including Ehret and Bauer. Included
within is a host of rarely published and previously unpublished
images from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, as well as an
outline on how what might have been a pastime for some also made a
significant contribution to our understanding of the world and the
glories of nature.
