Botanical art has undergone a remarkable renaissance in the last 25 years. This book reveals the history of botanical painting, its beauty and science through two renowned collections; the Art Collection of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, dating from the late 1400s, and the Shirley Sherwood Collection, documenting the emergence of a new wave of botanical painters and a growing interest in their art form.
