THE GOLDEN AGE OF FLOWERS: BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION IN THE AGE OF DISCOVERY 1600-1800
Book ID/图书代码： 12B54363
English Summary/英文概要： The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw a flowering of botanical illustration and witnessed the production of some of the greatest books of plant illustration ever produced, including such outstanding examples as the Hortus Eystettensis, the work of Maria Sybilla Merian, Thornton’s Temple of Flora, Banks’s Florilegium and Sibthorpe’s Flora Graeca. In this beautiful book, Celia Fisher has selected over 100 of the most stunning flower images from this period, and each plant has its own brief biography, giving the context in which it was discovered and the personalities who first named and nurtured it. Many of the flowers in the book are now familiar, while others remain very exotic. Some of the illustrations are appealing for their naive delicacy but most have never been superseded in scientific accuracy, and they remain one of the best proofs of art and science as complementary disciplines.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 十七和十八世纪见证了植物图谱的繁盛以及许多有关于植物图鉴的大量优秀书籍的涌现，其中包括玛利亚•西比拉•梅瑞安所著的经典之作“Hortus Eystettensis”；松顿所著的“Temple of Flora”（《花卉殿堂》）；班克斯所著的“Florilegium”和西布索普所著的“Flora Graeca”。在这本处处洋溢着美的书籍中，西莉亚•菲舍选取了100余幅令人惊艳的花卉图，其中每一种植物都附有其简单档案，描述其首次被人类所发现的环境，习性，首次命名和培育情况等。本书中所罗列的许多花卉都是我们不甚熟悉的品种，另一部分则为奇异品种。其中的许多插图引起自然与精巧之美而极具吸引力，但绝大多数还是因为其精妙程度连科学也无法取代，因此，它们是当代艺术与科学原则所能体现的最崇高形式。（DC）
