Description
Step into a world where art, science and history intertwine. This exhibition explores the rich tradition of botanical illustration—meticulously detailed plant studies created over 500 years ago for both medicinal knowledge and visual delight. Featuring works produced in the renowned ateliers of the Master of Claude de France and commissioned by Queen Claude of France in the early 1500s, these luminous watercolor painting reproductions reveal how early artists, monks and nuns documented the natural world. Admire the craftsmanship of vividly painted plants that were meant not only to inform, but to inspire wonder.
