ill., ril. L'arte dell'illustrazione botanica, orientata da sempre sia alla conoscenza sia al diletto, richiede non solo una meticolosa maestria, ma anche una rigorosa competenza scientifica. Questa riedizione del classico Taschen aggiunge numerose immagini alla già ricca selezione di opere straordinarie conservate presso la Biblioteca Nazionale di Vienna, celebrando la tradizione e i migliori talenti di questa forma d'arte. Da manoscritti bizantini fino ai capolavori del XX secolo, tra peonie, calle e crisantemi, queste raffinate opere colpiscono per la loro accuratezza ed eleganza. Che si tratti di foglie sinuose, frutta riprodotta con estrema precisione o splendide rappresentazioni variopinte, questo volume rende omaggio a un'arte delicata e precisa, oggi tanto più rilevante alla luce della crescente consapevolezza ambientale ed ecologica che ribadisce con forza la fondamentale importanza del mondo vegetale.
