Treasures of Botanical Art reveals the history of botanical
painting, its beauty and science, with works from two renowned
collections and over one hundred significant artists, dating from
the late 1400s through to today. Paintings featured from the Kew
collection include works by well-known artists the Bauer brothers,
Redoute, Ehret, Fitch, Lilian Snelling and Margaret Mee as well as
many lesser known artists. Contemporary works are featured from the
Sherwood collection by a host of international artists. Over 200
stunning botanical paintings are showcased in this gift book,
accompanied with informative text on the origins, history and
relevance of botanical art, as well as information on the plants
themselves. Biographies of over 120 artists are provided at the end
of the book, revealing the historical and international background
of this genre. 'Two of the best botanical minds come together in
this beautifully illustrated book...the illustrations, from the Kew
Collection, are breath-taking and the text wonderfully
informative'. Oxford Times 'This book is a tribute both to Shirley
Sherwood and to Kew, and should be bought by everyone with an
interest in botanical illustration'. Curtis's Botanical Magazine
