內容簡介

內容簡介 自然科學與藝術完美相遇在這本精美的植物手繪圖鑑！圖片出自維也納國家圖書館的典藏，從 6 世紀的手稿、到 19 世紀的植物花草繪圖傑作，彰顯植物藝術家的精湛繪畫技藝，也忠實紀錄千年之間在地球上出現過的豐富自然植物。Heaven on EarthBotanical masterworks from the National Library of ViennaIn 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."
