About this book

Language: Dutch

In Botanische Meesterwerken prominent Dutch botanists present highlights from beautifully illustrated 16th century herbals, local floras, and travelogues. Each of the chapters – covering topics such as distant journeys, publishers, printers, illustrators, and ancient plant species – has been inspired by a plate from one of these special works. They are accompanied by a contemporary reply of young artists from the art academy AKV | St. Joost in Den Bosch, the Netherlands. The works of these young artists will be presented in an exhibition at the museum Naturalis Biodiversity Centre, Leiden, the Netherlands, from December 3rd, 2015.

Features:
- Dutch floristic literature and botanical history
- Rare historic herbals, floras, travelogues and other botanical works
- Aimed at lovers of botany, art, travel, and natural history
