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.
